Author
Leonard Michaels
Author · 13 books
Leonard Michaels was an American writer of short stories, novels, and essays and a professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley. Going Places, his first book of short stories, made his reputation as one of the most brilliant of that era's fiction writers; the stories are urban, funny, and written in a private, hectic diction that gives them a remarkable edge. The follow-up, coming six years later (Michaels was perhaps not prolific enough to build a widely popular career), was I Would Have Saved Them If I Could, a collection as strong as the first.
