(1903-1987) made his mark on American literature with such classics on the South as Tobacco
Road(1932) and God's Little Acre (1933). Playwright EDWARD F. ALBEE III, whose
plays include Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962) and All Over (1971), won the 1967
Pulitzer Prize for Drama for A Delicate Balance (1966). Science fiction Hugo Award winner,
ISAAC ASMIOV (1920-1992) was more than a novelist, also writing science and theology
textbooks among his many works, which include his sci-fi Foundation trilogy (1951-1953)
and his scientific text, The Human Brain(1964). ALEX HALEY (1921-1992) won a 1977
Pulitzer Prize for Roots, his poignant saga of American slavery that was adapted into an
award-winning television mini-series. STEPHEN KING, a master of the horror genre, has
written a long list of bestsellers, many of which have been adapted for the screen or as TV
miniseries. LEON URIS (1924-2003) reflected on the centuries-long plight of the Semites in
Exodus(1958). He also wrote the script for that film and for Battle Cry(based on his 1953
book). Author/critic ROBERT PENN WARREN (1905-1989) won Pulitzer Prizes in 1947
for All The King's Men, his 1946 biographical novel of Huey Long, and in 1958 for his poetic
work, Promises: Poems 1954-1956 (1957), becoming the first to win in both the fiction and
poetry categories. Lightly soiled at lower right blank corner. Fine condition. Framed in the
Gallery of History style: 24½x20.
