Ann Beattie introduces David Markson Rick Moody introduces Will Self William Kennedy praised David Markson as a "writer who kicks tradition out the window, then kicks the window out the window, letting a splendid new light into the room." Markson's novels include The Last Novel and Wittgenstein's Mistress. Ann Beattie's numerous novels and short-story collections include most recently, Follies: New Stories and The Doctor's House.

Self's books include Great Apes, The Book of Dave and Psychogeography. Rick Moody's most recent book is Right Livelihoods: Three Novellas.
