John Brudy is an author about whom relatively little public information is currently available; the library holds only one work by him, If at First You Don't.... Judging from the title, the book is likely to center on the theme of what to do after a first attempt fails, carrying a tone of encouragement and self-motivation, and may discuss persistence, repeated effort, and the process of growth. Because reliable information is lacking regarding his nationality, dates of birth and death, education, and writing career, it is not possible to say more about his life or the development of his work, nor is it appropriate to speculate about his identity or experiences. The available material indicates only that he is a writer with at least one published work, and the "try again" attitude conveyed by its title forms the main clue through which readers may come to know him. Further evaluation of his writing style and influence must await more complete bibliographic and biographical sources.
