John Berendt is best known for his blockbuster bestselling book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, a nonfiction book about a murder in Savannah, Georgia, that also explores the lives of various interesting characters in the city. It reads more like a novel than a nonfiction work. To this day, no other book has topped its sales figures; it sold almost three million copies just in hardback and more than one million paperbacks, not to mention e-book figures since that time. He has written two other books of nonfiction (one a children's book) but no novels.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil has been criticized by some as not being true nonfiction; some have called it "creative nonfiction," primarily because Berendt plays around with timelines.
John Berendt is the author of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," a non-fiction novel set in Savannah, Georgia. He is also a former editor of New York Magazine.
