Richard Bach
Richard Bach (born 23 June 1936) is an American writer.
Author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1970), Illusions (1977), The Bridge Across Forever (1984), One (1989), Out of My Mind (1999), among other works of fiction and nonfiction.
Bach's early experiences included being an Air Force reserve pilot and nearly all of his books revolve around flight in some way, from the early stories which are straightforwardly about flying aircraft to the later books in which flight is a complex philosophical metaphor. Bach had a huge success with Jonathan Livingston Seagull which has not been equalled by his later books: nevertheless his work remains popular with readers.
Many of his later books contain New Age philosophy and wisdom.
Richard Bach appeared online in the early 1990s in a section of his own at Compuserve, and answered all emails personally until he received too many to deal with. He also had his own website, now disappeared.
Bach was for many years married to actress Leslie Parrish.
