	Trevanian Discussion
		This is especially true of Trevanian: he's a writer's writer.
		The true genius of Trevanian is his ability to scold us as readers for swallowing their stories, while still producing a completley readable book.
		Trevanian made me part of the story...thats why he is great.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Shibumi at Epinions.com
		Trevanian should be required reading for spy novelists who take the craft of spying too seriously.
		Trevanian's strength as a writer enables us to see his losing of this mystical transport (a concept alien to most of us, steeped in the Western tradition of logic) as a tragedy.
		Trevanian helps us see past familiar conventions of success (killing of all your enemies, living happily ever after), and in the end, we actually care whether Hel finds his inner peace in facing an uncertain future.

	Straight.com Vancouver \| Summer Books \| Trevanian fan gives thanks
		The brief biography declared that Trevanian was actually Rod Whitaker (born 1925), former professor of communications at the University of Texas, current resident of the Pyrenees.
		Trevanian does not explicitly connect the neighbours and sights of his youth to his best-known novels (conveniently reissued this summer for a new generation), but they are there for hard-core buffs.
		At the same time, Trevanian now seems to be asking us to separate his mordant characters from their originator.

	THE MYSTERY READER reviews: Incident at Twenty- Mile by Trevanian
		Since publishing was unpleasant, as Trevanian continued to write, the accumulation grew into eight books, some plays, and some short stories.
		Trevanian lays claim to a theatrical background and four college degrees.
		Trevanian includes the severe realities of big business, expansionism, and the inequality of capitalism — but it is very easy to ignore the political messages and enjoy the book.

		Trevanian perhaps the most well known for the three spy stories wrote five best-sellers, and sold over 5 million books without making a publicity appearance, or dropping the pretense of being an individual vs. a pseudonym.
		Trevanian even gave out hints about how his personal (made up) history aligned with some of the places that influence his books.
		Trevanian and Zappa have had their hooks in me for a very long time.

		Trevanian tells the story twice, the first version introducing the volume, the second ending it; each has a different denouement, but both are tragic.
		Trevanian keeps his fans guessing with long silences (15 years elapsed between The Summer of Katya and Incident at Twenty-Mile) and shifts in genre, from thriller to police procedural to romance to Western.
		The 13 stories in this collection show Trevanian to be a storyteller as versatile as he is skillful, using a variety of voice, time, and place to leave the reader with a smile, a shake of the head, or a shudder.

		Trevanian, alone of authors of the modern era, has become a world-wide success, sold millions of books without ever making a public appearance or a signing or a live interview.
		Trevanian has given us a glimpse of the contents of his desk, and allowed some of the texts found there also to be made available to the Trevanian Buff.
		I see that Trevanian is a cynical idealist, a Cervantes-like, and as yet beginning, possible hero ("beginning" is not negatively intended, and does not refer, of course, to his ability or history as a writer).

		Trevanian is offering for free the first part of his Bohemian tale Street of the Four Winds on the web site that he has endorsed, trevanian.com
		This is the second of two important internet give-aways that Trevanian has devised this year for his intensely supportive fans around the world and he is also asking readers in what kind of form they would like to read the rest of the novel.
		Along with the novel, Trevanian has written a cybernotes companion to it, containing a wealth of additional background detail and commentaries on the period as well as general asides on events today.

	Trevanian novels - Off Topic Chat Forum - ajb007.co.uk
		I recently read the novel "Shibumi" by this mysterious author (nobody seems to know for sure whether this author is male, female, or actually a group of people writing under a pseudonym), and I must say it is a classic, the best suspense novel I have read in a long time.
		Trevanian's skills as a writer are tremendous: his (I'm assuming a gender here) characters are memorable, three-dimensional human beings, his humor is infectious and yet sharp as a razor, and his knowledge of his subject matters is second to none.

	Roger L. Simon: Rodney Whitaker, aka Trevanian, passes
		For what it's worth, Trevanian was always one of my fave reads, and I found "Shibumi" and the "Sanction" novels absolutely riveting.
		While I was reading Shibumi, I found it riveting...afterwards, I came to the conclusion that Trevanian was an arrogant SOB who I would be much better off never reading again.
		The arrogant pretense perpetrated on the reader bothered me on a lot of levels until I reached an important conclusion: the author was just making this crap up and making me feel small to increase the relative scope of his work.

	Shibumi by Trevanian
		Nicolai Hell was born in the turbulent China of the First World War, of an aristocratic mother and a mysterious German father, and educated in the spiritual gardens of a Japanese Go master.
		Trevanian, (answering written questions from Judy Quinn of Publisher's Weekly, in 1998) said about it.
		I swallowed this bitter pill and decided I would indeed write another book within the super-spy genre, but although it would be published under the name Trevanian, it would be written by an altogether different persona.

		In a 1998 interview, a correspondent represented as Trevanian identified himself as Tokyo-born Rodney Whitaker (1925-) rumored to have died in 1992 but apparently still alive and well, though that would put him in his early 80's.
		It has been claimed that at least some Trevanian novels were written by the late author Jack (or James) Hashian.
