Collecting John Williams: A Career in Four Novels
Little known during his lifetime, John Edward Williams wrote only four novels during his career as an English professor and director of the Creative Writing Program at the University of Denver. He’s rediscovered from time to time, but only recently has a wide reading public become aware of his genius. At least three of his novels are masterpieces.
Ron Rash: An American Original
Poet, short story writer and novelist Ron Rash has emerged as more than a first-rate Appalachian writer. His work is infused with his clarity of spirit, generosity and humility. Rash’s breakout novel, Serena (2008), was his first commercial success, attracting enthusiastic critical reviews and a popular readership in the United States and abroad.
