The Art of Fiction No. 185
Briefly

When Hazzard got to the microphone, she hit back--with brief, polite but firm eloquence--at King's claims, and noted that his having offered a reading list of best-selling authors wasn't 'much of a satisfaction.'
She has written five novels ( The Great Fire, 2003; The Transit of Venus, 1980; The Bay of Noon, 1970; People in Glass Houses, 1967; and The Evening of the Holiday, 1966), a collection of stories ( Cliffs of Fall, 1963), a memoir ( Greene on Capri, 2000), and two books of nonfiction ( Countenance of Truth, 1990 and Defeat of an Ideal, 1973), all of them ablaze with technical perfection and moral poise.
