Biography

Albert Joseph Guérard (1914- ) is an emeritus professor of English at Stanford University and a novelist. John Hawkes (1925- ), a former student of Guérard's in his advanced writing class at Harvard, 1947-49, is a professor of literature at Brown University. John Hawkes and his wife Sophie are friends of Albert and Maclin Guérard. Guérard notes that "Although John Hakes is not a household name in the world of commercial best sellers, he has a very high literary reputation in the United States and in France, where he has been called the heir of Faulkner. I regard him, together with Gil Sorrentino, as the most important avant-garde novelist writing in English and possibly the best stylist of any novelist writing in English."

Biography

Albert Joseph Guérard (1914- ) is an emeritus professor of English at Stanford University and a novelist. In 1924 he went with his family to spend his father's sabbatical year in Paris. During Christmas vacation, Guérard's mother took him to Davos, Switzerland, where he met the Hungarian silent film star Lya de Putti, who took the 10 year-old Albert to a ball. This encounter was woven into several of Guérard's writings,. AJG's interest in de Putti and her life was revived upon seeing her obituary in 1931.
