He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the Howells Medal, the American Book Award, the Légion d'Honneur, and the MacDowell Medal. James L. W. West III is the author of William Styron: A Life (1998) and general editor of the Cambridge Edition of the Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. He is Sparks Professor of English at Pennsylvania State University. Klappentext From 1943 to 1953, William Styron wrote over one hundred letters to his father, detailing his adventures and works in progress, and ruminating on the craft of writing. In all of American literature, no other extended series of such letters exists. Letters to My Father collects this correspondence for the first time, revealing the early, intimate thoughts of a young man who was to become a literary icon. The collection is copiously annotated and includes a prefatory memoir of the senior Styron by the author's widow, Rose; facsimiles of selected letters; and a sampling of Styron's early fiction.
