Description

The author of 2000 National Book Award Finalist and bestseller, The Feast of Love, which has been made into a new film starring Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear, and is an imaginative retelling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Perhaps best known for his fiction set in the middle America, its people and relationships, he is unique in his ability to reveal the extraordinary in the world of ordinary people. His characters have a wide range of obsessions, occupations and dilemmas, which he renders with intelligence and compassion. His latest novel, The Soul Thief, will be published in spring 2008. In addition to being nominated for the 2000 National Book Award for Fiction, The Feast of Love won the Prix de St. Valentine in its French translation, and the Catalan Booksellers Association Award as book of the year in Spain. Baxter is also the recipient of the Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
