520 |a "Bootlegger of the Soul offers a fresh and authoritative overview of the acclaimed literary career of the award-winning novelist William Kennedy. Often cited as one of the foremost authors of his generation, Kennedy is perhaps best known for his Albany Cycle, a series of novels that put Albany on the world's literary map along with James Joyce's Dublin, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Macondo, and William Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County. Bringing together reviews, interviews, and scholarly essays, as well as essays, speeches, two plays, and a short story by the author himself, this collection assesses for the first time in one volume the full sweep of Kennedy's long literary career and his astonishing trajectory from journalist to struggling novelist to Pulitzer Prize winner. Lively, readable, and brimming with the infectious wit and lyrical prose that animates Kennedy's novels, Bootlegger of the Soul is a celebration of a writer still working hard at his craft at age ninety"--  |c Provided by publisher
