JOHN P. MARQUAND was born in 1893 in Wilmington, Delaware. Marquand graduated from Harvard in 1915, and settled in Newbury,
Massachusetts. He worked as a reporter for the Boston Transcript and the New York Herald Tribune and served as a lieutenant in the
army during World War I.
An extremely popular writer, Marquand was noted for his novels of manners, which earned him the title of βmartini-aged Victorian.β In
1938 he won the Pulitzer Prize for his novel The Late George Apley.
His character Mr. Moto, a Japanese agent, was a highly successful creation, both in the book and in the movie version, in which Peter
Lorre played Mr. Moto.
Marquand died in 1960 in Newbury, Massachusetts.
