Maxwell is one of the best. All his books are worth your time--I particularly like his collection of short stories and his family memoir, <I>Ancestors</I>, which includes the most thoughtful, moving, and heartbreaking analysis how a younger person can be so wrapped up in themselves as to not really even notice adult kindness (let along adult need) that I've ever come across. The recently published collection of his letters to and from Eudora Welty is also a gem. Agreed. Maxwell is one of the best.
