About the Author
William MacKay received his first Bible as a family gift when he was eight. Since then, he has perused and pored over it and all its successors for decades, though perhaps not until recently with the level of diligence that his devout mother would have wished. As an inveterate reader, writer, and editor, he has written, compiled, or edited books, blogs, and magazines on subjects as diverse as creativity and conspiracies; American history and The Lord of the Rings; poetry, biography, ballet, and new book releases. He co-edited Edwin Denby’s Dance Writings, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award.
