Autorenporträt
Robert Rice is the author of four other novels and a memoir. Kirkus Review called The Last Pendragon, a "persuasive reinvention of the Arthurian legend" and said, "Rice is an accomplished storyteller and scene setter, but what gives the story greater heft is his concern, albeit low-keyed, for more transcendental themes in a world as much physically as spiritually under threat. An absorbing whirl of a read." Rice's poetry and short stories have appeared in numerous literary magazines. He lives in Montana.
