Why might an authors backgroundand life experience influence the
content of a novel ?
When authors write books to it is oftenthat they lived it or it is somethingthey hold close to their heart.
It is much easier to write a novel aboutthings you know about.
Also when an author writes a bookthey put their own feelings into it,and often their opinion. You can onlydo so if you truly know what you aretalking about.
