Markus Zusak is best known for his novel 'The Book Thief', which has sold 16 million copies worldwide, is published in 42 foreign language territories, has spent over 500 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and is a major motion picture. Markus Zusak’s latest book is 'Bridge of Clay', a novel 13 years in the writing.
