introducing readers to writers since 1995

Guy Davenport, 1927-2005
by Ron Hogan
Art Jester of the Lexington Herald-Leader files the local obituary for the former Kentucky English professor and cutting-edge fiction writer. Paula Burba of the Louisville Courier-Journal writes another. So far, the biggies haven't picked up the story yet, but you can learn quite a bit about Davenport's life and work (this site is where I found that photo, by the way).
Two years ago, Davenport eulogized Hugh Kenner.
