Since The New Yorker published an in-depth profile of him in 1994, James Wilcox has begun to achieve the recognition he deserves. This novel, which pits the haplessly endearing Eric Thorsen against the indignities of urban life, is "a charming novel ... [with] utterly convincing characters."--Publishers Weekly
James Wilcox is the author of eight novels, including North Gladiola, Miss Undine's Living Room, and, most recently, Heavenly Days. His first novel, Modern Baptists, appeared on Q Magazine's list of forty-five "Best Fiction" selections and in Harold Bloom's The Western Canon. A professor of English and the director of creative writing at Louisiana State University, he has written for the New York Times Book Review, Los Angeles Times Book Review, and Elle.
