Items related to Expelled from Eden: A William T. Vollmann Reader
William T. Vollmann is one of our greatest living writers. Masterworks such as You Bright and Risen Angels, The Royal Family, and Rising Up and Rising Down--his latest work, a stunning 3,300-page tour de force--have launched him into the literary stratosphere and added his name to the list of potential future Nobelists.
Here is his long-awaited "best-of" collection, intended both as an introduction for the curious reader, and as a necessary addition to the existing fan's collection. With excerpts from all of Vollmann's novels (including several not yet published), journalistic pieces, essays, correspondence, and poetry, Expelled from Eden creates a unique, kaleidoscopic portrait of one of America's most notorious, protean, devastating, and necessary writers.

If any living writer merits a mammoth reader, it's intrepid journalist and novelist William T. Vollmann, whose colossal body of work stands unsurpassed for its range, moral imperative, and artistry. Given the splendid complexity of Seven Dreams, a series of historical novels about North America; the enormity of his inquiry into the nature of violence, Rising Up and Rising Down (2003); and the scope of his newest work of fiction, Europe Central [BKL Ja 1 & 15 05], to mention but a few of his major accomplishments, readers will welcome this illuminating and innovatively conceived overview. Vollmann and his discerning, and pleasingly irreverent, coeditors present an electrifying assemblage of samplings from his major work and less-known yet pivotal pieces, including arresting autobiographical essays and correspondence with editors in which Vollmann explicates and defends his work. Also included are photographs and drawings, and, best of all, an extraordinarily revealing and witty chronology that creeps forward from the primordial era through the unfolding of civilization to Vollmann's globe-circling adventures and the fruits of his fertile and febrile imagination.
