"I write books I would like to read," Barron said in a question-and-answer interview that he has posted on his own official Web site. "That means each story must have a character, a relationship, a place, a dilemma, and an idea that I care about."
A personal involvement with the themes that he deals with in his books has been a central element of Barron's writing. As a boy, he was an avid reader--everything from sports stories to biographies of Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein, to Greek and Norse myths. Barron also loved writing down his own thoughts and feelings; he was just five when he began producing a personal magazine for family and friends called "The Idiot's Odyssey." "I kept writing during my college years at Princeton, and during my time as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford," Barron recalled in a message to readers that he posted on his own Web site.
