My academic books include the well-known writing textbook GUIDE TO RAPID REVISION (now in its 8th edition) and a book of literary criticism, THE BARB OF TIME: ON THE CANTOS OF EZRA POUND (Oxford U. P.).
Beginning with the 1980s, however, my writing interests switched entirely to fiction.
As of January, 2012,I have published about sixty short stories and novellas, most of which have been collected in three volumes: THE FINAL DREAM & OTHER FICTIONS (Permeable, 1995); THE BEST-KNOWN MAN IN THE WORLD & OTHER MISFITS (Aardwolf, 2001); and A GIANT IN THE HOUSE & OTHER EXCESSES (Merry Blacksmith, 2011). My two novels to date are BLACK FLAMES (White Pine Press, 1997); and MEMINI (Prime/Wildside, 2003). Details at my homepage: ddpearlman.com.
