E. L. Doctorow
06-Jan-1931
United States
Novelist
Anointed to the “most remaining” of modern American writers, EL Doctorow, now 84, has been hailed as the forgotten “great poet” of the forgotten Americans. It was a glory that he did not receive. He has shown some discomfort when working with pigeons formed by reviewers, not just a few students. In a 50-year career, Dootow fears that clean labels are a distraction. He lived a satisfying life amidst the turmoil of his career.
