He has won numerous awards and his novels continue to be reviewed with high praise. Notably, Dancer in the Dark, published this year in the States and, I believe, in the UK in 2006. He teaches at Yale University. He has a website. One of the best writers working today.Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112730399740286282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-39911026710310146782008-05-13T01:37:00.000+00:002008-05-13T01:37:00.000+00:00Very intrigued to know who so annoyed their publis...Very intrigued to know who so annoyed their publisher...<BR/><BR/>Yes, Alison Lurie has vanished, hasn't she? Perhaps because 'The Last Resort' wasn't very good she lost a lot of followers? Seems unlikely... I know I've seen a LOT of books by writers on that list in various remainder shops. You couldn't moves for copies of 'Slaves of New York' at one place.JRSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430775461763521797noreply@blogger.com
