BERNARD MALAMUD

#N/A

Philip Davis is Professor of English Literature in the School of English, University of Liverpool. He has been reading Malamud for over thirty years. The opportunity for this Englishman to write the first-ever biography of this major American novelist arose as a result of a chance meeting at a graduation ceremony in Liverpool, when news reached him that the Malamud family were looking for a biographer after nearly twenty years of discouraging the writing of a life.
