Charles Baxter in New York Times

Cover image of GryphonCongratulations to Edelstein-Keller Professor of Creative Writing Charles Baxter, whose book Gryphon: New and Selected Stories received a lead review in the New York Times Book Review January 16. The reviewer, Joyce Carol Oates, writes, "Beneath the shadowless equanimity of Norman Rockwell's America . . . Baxter evokes something like the chilling starkness and human isolation of the work of Edward Hopper." Baxter talks about the new collection January 28 at 3 pm in Lind 207A.
