Hilary Masters is the author of seventeen books--POST is his tenth novel. Essays and works of fiction complete the list, including the memoir Last Stands: Notes from Memory. His work has received the Balch Prize for fiction, the Monroe Spears Prize for the essay and has been noted in Best American Essays, Best American Short Stories and Pushcart Prize anthologies. In 2003 the American Academy of Arts and Letters presented him its Award for Literature.
In a whirl of historic fact, erotic mayhem, and comic suspense,
Masters ingeniously connects the bloodlust that drove the once
sky-filling passenger pigeon into extinction with endangered forms
of culture and love in an uproarious and wise inquiry into why we
destroy what awes and sustains us. -- Donna Seaman "Booklist"
Masters in his tenth novel produces a twisty
terrorism-cum-conspiracy plot, the lure of which is literary-minded
crimes...and misdeameanors...Masters is a cheeky Scheherazade or
Rabelais, weaving tales within tales that are sublime even when
they are also ridiculous. -- Fiction Forecasts web exclusive
