William T. Vollmann

A prolific writer of fiction and nonfiction and winner of the National Book Award for Europe Central, William T. Vollmann is considered by many to be one of America's most important living writers. Vollmann has written short stories, novels, and essays, and he has contributed to such publications as Esquire, Granta, Harper's, The New Yorker, Playboy, and Spin magazine.

As the author of several works of fiction, including Butterfly Stories, The Royal Family, and You Bright and Risen Angels—as well as such nonfiction as the seven-volume Rising Up and Rising Down: Some Thoughts on Violence, Freedom, and Urgent Means—Vollmann continues to produce significant material at an astounding rate.

In this annotated bibliography, Michael Hemmingson has assembled a comprehensive list of all editions of Vollmann's books in every language, as well as every short story, every essay, his investigative journalism, and book reviews. This book also includes an extensive listing of Vollmann's limited edition "book object" artist editions. William T. Vollmann: An Annotated Bibliography is a much needed volume for libraries and fans.
