AMERICAN WRITERS Supplement XVII Supplement XVII focuses intensely on contemporary writers, many of whom have received little sustained attention from critics. Fiction writers Max Apple, Charles Baxter, Joanna Scott, Scott Turow, William T. Vollmann, David Markson, Melvin Bukiet, and Anna Quindlen have written substantial novels. They have been written about in the review pages of newspapers and magazines, and their fiction has acquired a following of enthusiastic readers, but their work has yet to attract significant scholarship.

Emile Zola (Bloom's Modern Critical Views)

Leader of the 19th-century naturalist movement in France, Zola's major works include Germinal and Nana, both part of the Rougon-Macquert Cycle.

This title, Emile Zola, part of Chelsea House Publishers’ Modern Critical Views series, examines the major works of Emile Zola through full-length critical essays by expert literary critics. In addition, this title features a short biography on Emile Zola, a chronology of the author’s life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.
