Praise for Douglas A. Martin:"A tender, tragic portrayal of a doomed artist . . . [<i>Branwell</i>]"s beautiful declarative sentences are perfectly fitted to this famously imaginative, headstrong family; they bring Branwell Brontë"s world to light."—<i>Publishers Weekly</i>"Stylistically complex and emotionally evocative. . . . Branwell Brontë emerges as a fascinating lost character, both muse and devil to his sisters" passions, giving us a new dimension to this ever fascinating family."—Darcey Steinke"There is a reverence in Douglas Martin"s writing composed of equal parts language and love. <i>Outline of My Lover</i> strips away the dross, leaving you with the pure mood of youth."—Dale PeckIn 2000, Douglas A. Martin burst onto the American literary scene with his sexy debut novel, <i>Outline of My Lover</i>. Following up with three more books, including <i>Branwell</i>, a novel of the Brontë brother, Martin has established himself as an acclaimed and distinctive American writer of the new century. His semi-autobiographical novel <i>Once You Go Back</i> is about growing up in a strained working-class household transplanted to the South. In his inimitably elliptical and evocative style, Martin carefully brings out the curiosity of children on the verge of becoming sexual, and their confusion in the midst of family violence.<b>Douglas A. Martin</b> is the author of <i>Branwell</i>; <i>Outline of My Lover</i> (selected by Colm Toibin as International Book of the Year in <i>The Times Literary Supplement</i>); <i>They Change the Subject</i>, a book of stories; and <i>In the Time of Assignments</i>, a book of poetry. Born in Virginia in 1973, and raised in Georgia, he now lives in New York City.
