The Fred Chappell Reader

An Anthology Showcasing the Brilliant Versatility of Acclaimed American Author Fred Chappell

The Fred Chappell Reader is an anthology that bears witness to the remarkable scope of Fred Chappell's career, featuring a rich body of narrative and lyrical fictions ranging over history, mythology, science, philosophy, and Chappell's own life. Recognized as a storyteller "to put on the shelf with Mark Twain, William Faulkner, and Eudora Welty" by The Washington Post, Chappell is one of America's most brilliant and versatile authors, with many novels, short stories, and volumes of poetry to his credit.

This collection includes the complete novel Dagon, substantial portions of four other novels, several short stories (two of which are previously uncollected), and a selection of poems culled from his books. Chappell's poetic achievement earned him a share of the prestigious Bollingen Prize in 1985, alongside John Ashbery.

The Fred Chappell Reader offers an important and thoroughly rewarding selection of work by a major American writer, showcasing his mastery of diverse genres and cementing his place in the pantheon of great American literature.
