| 520 | |a 'Splendid... . McAlexander's biography only makes it clearer than ever that Peter Taylor was our last great southern man of letters.''Chicago Tribune 'For those of us to whom Taylor's writing is among the chief glories of 20th-century American literature, Peter Taylor: A Writer's Life has much to tell us about how he emerged from what he called 'the small old world we knew...in Tennessee' and explored that world with such acuity, clarity, and unsentimental love.''Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World 'McAlexander has done a splendid job of tracing the progression of Taylor's writing through the circumstances of a surprisingly frenetic life...Anyone interested in the evolution of fiction writing in the last century will be delighted to come upon this volume...fascinating, sometimes amusing, and often heartbreaking.''New York Times Book Review Hubert H. McAlexander's accomplished portrait of Peter Taylor (1917'1994) achieves a remarkable intimacy with this central figure in the history of the American short story and one of the greatest southern writers of his time. McAlexander knits together the facts of Taylor's life in a compelling, seamless account: his deep and distinguished family roots in Tennessee; his close bonds with writers from three generations, including Allen Tate, Robert Lowell, and James Alan McPherson; his establishment of the dysfunctional family as a force in American literature; and his perseverance as a writer, finally rewarded with the Pulitzer Prize at age seventy. Exhaustively researched and engagingly written, Peter Taylor presents a vivid picture of the man, the artist, and his literary milieu. | ||
