Description
Trade ReviewExemplary... It is so good that McPheron's descriptive data... can stand with the work of such legendary bibliographers as John Slocum and Fredson Bowers... Anyone working on Sorrentino, and certainly his future biographer, will be forever indebted to this study. It is a model of what descriptive bibliography can be and do. -- ANQ Sorrentino's presence is attested to by William McPheron, whose Gilbert Sorrentino: A Descriptive Bibliography includes such pertinent and extensive annotations of the history of this author's publications as to qualify as historical analysis. -- American Literary Scholarship Gilbert Sorrentino's career is one that makes sound descriptive bibliography an absolute necessity... What one finds in McPheron's bibliography is the fascinating record of a writer absolutely central to the literary period in which he lives. -- Resources for American Literary Study vol. 21, no. 2
