Om forfatteren
Peter Pouncey was born in Tsingtao, China. He was educated in English boarding schools and at Oxford. He was dean of Columbia College and served as president of Amherst College for ten years. In The New York Review of Books, W.S. Merwin wrote that Pouncey's novel, Rules for Old Men Waiting, vis mere "confronts its primal subject with a lucidity and plainness that appears to be descended from the historians and poets we have labeled classical." vis mindre
