Overview
Provides accurate, incisive accounts of writers' lives and works, including critical responses and bibliographies. The 317 entries include novelists, playwrights, and poets who have risen to prominence in the early 1990s as well as essayists, historians, biographers, critics, philosophers, and scientists who have made exceptional contributions to the literature of our time. About one-third of the authors have contributed autobiographical statements. Edited by Clifford Thompson, whose short stories and essays have appeared in a number of periodicals and anthologies. Includes b&w photographs of the authors. Title and geographical indexes would be a welcome enhancement to a reference like this. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
