Description

John Crowley is one of the most critically acclaimed writers of our time. Ranging from Eden to Utopia and yet grounded in our common life, Crowley's stories can imagine Lord Byron in Greece or Virginia Woolf in a New York apartment; they examine teh poignant paradoxes of time travel and alien visitiations as thoughtfully as the dreams ofa failed writer in an afternoon bar. Included is the award-winning novella Great Work of TIme as well as several pieces only available till now in limited editions.

Author Biography

John Crowley lives in the hills of northern Massachusetts with his wife and twin daughters. He is the author of ten previous novels as well as the short fiction collection, Novelties & Souvenirs.
