Peter Hillsman Taylor was a prize-winning American author, known for his stylish novels and short stories of the American South. Born in Tennessee, Taylor's family travelled throughout the South during his youth, and he credits these experiences with inspiring his later writing. He enrolled at Rhodes College, where Allen Tate urged him to transfer to Vanderbilt to study under John Crowe Ransom; he later followed Ransom to Kenyon College, along with Robert Lowell and Randall Jarrell. He garnered early critical success for his short stories and novels, and was considered one of the best writers of his generation by many colleagues. His intricate characters, evocative dialogue, and smooth style helped earn him numerous prestigious awards, culminating in the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1994.
