- 3413: Joseph Conrad

Conrads literature consists of the various styles of techniques he uses to display his well-recognized work as British literature.

Sethe chose to have this engraved ...

- The Identity of Thomas Pynchon The identity of Thomas Pynchon is as elusive as the sticky, complex webs of meaning woven into his prose. As America's most "famous" hidden author, Pynchon produces works which simultaneously deal with issues of disappearance and meaning, of identity and nothingness in a fashion that befuddles some and delights others. He speaks to the world from ... of anonymity that safely disguises his personality from the prying eyes of critics and fans alike.
