Janet Fitch (born November 9, 1955)[1] is an American author. She wrote the novel White Oleander, which became a film in 2002. She is a graduate of Reed College.[2]
Fitch was born in Los Angeles, a third-generation native, and grew up in a family of voracious readers. As an undergraduate at Reed College, Fitch had decided to become a historian, attracted to its powerful narratives, the scope of events, the colossal personalities, and the potency and breadth of its themes. But when she won a student exchange to Keele University in England, where her passion for Russian history led her, she awoke in the middle of the night on her twenty-first birthday with the revelation she wanted to write fiction.[3]
Fitch was a faculty member in the Master of Professional Writing Program at the University of Southern California, where she taught fiction.
Two of her favorite authors are Fyodor Dostoevsky[4] and Edgar Allan Poe.
Her third novel, Paint It Black, named after the Rolling Stones song of the same name, was published in September 2006. Amber Tamblyn directed a 2016 feature film based on the book.[5]
