"Vollmann's books tower over the work of his contemporaries by virtue of their enormous range, huge ambition, stylistic daring, wide learning, audacious innovation, and sardonic wit."
-Washington Post
We are excited to again host this remarkable writer. In 1999, the New Yorker named him one of the twenty best writers in America under forty. He is the author of nine novels (including Europe Central, which won the 2005 National Book Award), three collections of stories, a memoir, three works of nonfiction, and a seven volume meditation on nonviolence in history, which was a finalist for the 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award in Nonfiction. Vollmann's journalism has appeared in The New Yorker, Esquire, Spin, Granta, Grand Street and Outside Magazine.
Simultaneous with Viking's release, powerHouse Books will publish IMPERIAL: Photographs by William Vollmann (10.5 x 12.75 inches; 200 pages with 194 duotone photographs), Vollmann's photographic portrait of Imperial's last decade.
