The American Writers Supplements include authors who have never been featured in American Writers. In this latest supplement, look for entries on twentieth-century short story writer, novelist, feminist, anarchist, "part-time bohemian"--and a mother of four, narrative historian, playwright, documentary editor, and hooker of rugs Neith Boyce; novelist Michael Connelly; award-winning short story writer Jhumpa Lahiri; humorist, raconteur, and provocateur Sam Pickering; and more.
This collection of critical and biographical articles covers hundreds of notable authors from the 17th century to the present day. Signed essays, 12-15 pages in length by noted scholars, provide thought-provoking insights into the lives, careers and works of American writers. Each Supplement covers approximately 20 additional authors.
