Jodi Lynn Picoult (/ˈdʒoʊdi ˈpiːkoʊ/;[1] born 1966) is an American writer. Picoult has published 28 novels and short stories, and has also written several issues of Wonder Woman.[2] Approximately 40 million copies of her books are in print worldwide[3] and have been translated into 34 languages.[4] In 2003, she was awarded the New England Bookseller Award for fiction.[5]
Picoult writes popular fiction which can be characterised as family saga. She frequently centers storylines on a moral dilemma or a procedural drama which pits family members against one another. Over her writing career, Picoult has covered a wide range of controversial or moral issues, including abortion, the Holocaust, assisted suicide, race relations, eugenics, LGBT rights, fertility issues, religion, the death penalty, and school shootings. She has been described as "a paradox, a hugely popular, at times controversial writer, ignored by academia, who questions notions of what constitutes literature simply by doing what she does best."[6]
