This installment of 18 writers includes Lorrie Moore, John Edgar Wideman, Tom Robbins and Ana<:i>s Nin. Essays combine biography with literary analysis and include a bibliography. This set's strong points are its inclusion of writers of various backgrounds, ages, and literary genres, and its general aim of providing introductions to writers and literary preoccupations. Forthcoming supplements of 18 writers each will include Stephen Vincent Benet, Michael Chabon, and Wanda Coleman in Supplement XI, and Gregory Corso, Leslie Epstein, Tobias Wolff, and Paula Fox in Supplement XII. Parini is professor of English at Middlebury College. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
