Family of authors tops best seller lists,
sells total of over 108 million books
United Press International
HOLLYWOOD — The Wallace
family sat down to lunch together
after receiving news that their latest
joint effort, “The Book of Lists,” was
No. 1 among best sellers in Los
Angeles.
Patriarch living Wallace beamed
happily at his collaborators: daugh
ter Amy, 21, son David, 29, and
wife Sylvia, whose blonde beauty
makes her look younger than how
ever many years she is.
Irving, Amy and David re
searched and wrote the new book.
Sylvia, as always, did the editing.
Together and individually, the
Wallaces have sold some 108 million
books in hard cover and paperback
in the past two decades. Irving’s 11
novels and nine non-fiction books,
of course, account for the bulk of
that amazing total.
But Sylvia’s best seller, “The
Fountains,” combined with David’s
What Really Happened to the
Class of’65,” plus his share in “The
People’s Almanac” account for
early two million sales.
Amy’s published contribution so
far is her part in “The Book of
Lists.”
The family chatted happily in the
Brown Derby, delighted by the
news that “The Book of Lists” is sel
ling merrily in the top 10 around the
country.
And while the Wallaces are a
obstruction ^ose-knit unit, they currently are
involved in individual writing pro
jects. Not that they are a quartet
concerto for typewriters under the
same roof.
Irving and Sylvia live in a
Brentwood mansion. Amy lives in
Berkeley, Calif., where she earns a
Iving giving psychic readings.
— Fewer® David, who changed his name to
the family’s ancestral handle, Wal-
lechinsky, lives in baronial splendor
not far from his parents.
Sylvia is working on a new novel.
as is Irving. Amy has two new books
about to be published, “The Two”
and “The Psychic Healing Book.”
“The Two,” written in collabora
tion with her father, is the biog
raphy of Chang and Eng, the origi
nal Siamese Twins, to which she
devoted two years of research.
David is busy on “The People’s
Almanac II.” He is a bearded, al
most ascedic man endowed wdth
wry humor. NBC has fashioned a
weekly television series from his
“What Really Happened to the
Class of ’65” which makes its debut
this fall.
Altogether, the family has earned
nearly $3 million in the past two and
a half years, thanks in no small part
to Irving’s “The R. Document,”
Sylvia’s The Fountains,” David’s
“Class of ’65” and “The People’s
Almanac.”
“We get a kick out of seeing our
work displayed in book stores
around the country,” Irving said.
“Sometimes all four of our current
hard cover books can be found on
the same counter or in the same
window.”
The Wallaces read one another’s
manuscripts before they are sent to
their publishers, but never until the
books are complete.
“Sylvia is the best editor in the
family,” Irving says flatly.
“The children have natural writ
ing talent. But I’m sure literary sur
roundings, having author friends
around the house and having par
ents who write has influenced
them somewhat,” Sylvia said.
Amy spoke up. “I’m in awe of
people who write books. I’m even
awed that I’ve written a book. And
someday I’d like to write a novel.”
David, too, plans to produce a
novel if he can take time from his
work on the second almanac.

becoming a writer,” David said. “As
a kid I wanted to be a cowboy. I still
do. When I left high school I went
to film school.
“There’s no doubt the environ
ment at home developed a respect
for writing. When I write my novel
it will be a different kind of book
from Dad’s.”
“There’s no better training in the
world for a writer than keeping a
journal,” said Wallace. “They are
very private and never read by
anyone else in the family. But read
ing the childrens’ manuscripts has
provided an insight into thier in
terests and thoughts that I wouldn’t
have known otherwise.
