UPDATE: Assessing James Purdy (11/1/03 & 3/1/04; collection)
The ASSESSING JAMES PURDY Conference will take place October 25, 2003 in

enthusiasts are cordially invited, as are all fans of the best late twentieth
century fiction. There will be no registration fee.
Essays are also solicited for the volume of essays that will follow up
the conference. The editor seeks essays on all aspects of Purdy's work, but is
especially interested in essays on the later stories, the plays and the poetry.
