Frank University of Missouri Press, 2000 - 156 pages "Over the past forty-five years, William Hoffman has written eleven novels, including the critically acclaimed Tidewater Blood, winner of the Dashiell Hammett award, and four short-fiction collections, the most recent being Doors - all of which have enjoyed a loyal and appreciative readership." "The Fictional World of William Hoffman provides readers with the first assessment of Hoffman's work.
