American writer Steve Katz published his first book, The Lestriad, in
1962. Subsequent novels and collections have continue to appear from
such imprints as Holt, Rinehart and Winston; Random House; Alfred A.
Knopf; Ithaca House; and Sun & Moon. According to critic Jerome
Klinkowitz, Katz has "pushed innovation farther than any of his
contemporaries." W. C. Bamberger regards him as "the most important
living American novelist." This first extended guide to the author's
fiction includes a bibliography, detailed index, notes, and 200 pages of
illuminating commentary.
W. C. Bamberger is the author of ten books and dozens of published
critical essays on the major writers of our time, including the volumes,
William Eastlake: High Desert Interlocutor and The Work of William
Eastlake: An Annotated Bibliography and Guide (both available from Borgo
Press). He lives and works in Michigan.
