George Garrett

George Garrett, no stranger to these pages, wrote more than 30 books and edited more than 20 others. He was best known for his trilogy of historical novels, Death of the Fox, The Succession, and Entered from the Sun. His wide-ranging talents encompassed poetry, short stories, essays, criticism, humor, and a brief, unrewarding affair with screenwriting. He retired from teaching creative writing and literature in 2000, after many years at the University of Virginia.
