Writing career

Brooks Hansen was born in

New York Times Notable Book. His next major published work was 1995's The Chess Garden.[5] It was critically acclaimed and named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, and to the Fall 1995 Barnes & Noble
"Discover Great New Writers" program.

His next work, a young adult novel called Caesar's Antlers, which he also illustrated, was criticized as being too erudite for its target audience, with Mark Oppenheimer in review for The New York Times writing that his prose was "too intricate for most adults to follow, let alone listening children".

Napoleon Bonaparte's final years on St. Helena, was again acclaimed, and named a New York Times Notable Book, as 1999's Perlman's Ordeal had been.[7] He has since written numerous other works.[2] His most recent title The Unknown Woman of the Seine (Delphinium Books) was among the New York Times top selections for historical fiction of 2021.[8]
