Ε.L. Doctorow fue un autor americano consagrado, reconocido principalmente por su novela "Ragtime". Nació en Nueva York y asistió al Kenyon College en Ohio, donde estudió filosofía y teatro. Luego, se matriculó en la Universidad de Columbia para realizar un año de trabajo de posgrado en el drama inglés antes de ser reclutado por el Ejército de los EE.UU. durante la ocupación aliada de posguerra de Alemania. Después de su servicio, Doctorow trabajó para una empresa cinematográfica, donde sus experiencias lo llevaron a escribir su primera novela, "Welcome to Hard Times".
Doctorow fue ampliamente reconocido por sus sobresalientes obras de ficción histórica, con novelas como "The March", "Billy Bathgate" y "Ragtime" que le valieron numerosos premios. Su escritura le valió reconocimiento internacional y a menudo se le describe como uno de los novelistas americanos más importantes del siglo XX. A lo largo de su carrera, Doctorow autoró varias novelas, una pieza de teatro y ficción corta, ganándole numerosos elogios, incluyendo el Premio Nacional del Libro, tres Premios Nacionales del Círculo de Críticos de Libros, dos Premios PEN Faulkner y la Medalla Nacional de Humanidades. En 2012, ganó el Premio PEN Saul Bellow por Logros en la Ficción Americana, y en 2013, le fue otorgada la Medalla de Oro por Ficción por la Academia Americana de Artes y Letras. Doctorow falleció en julio de 2015 debido al cáncer de pulmón.
