Whether pioneering in their craft, fiercely and undeniably unique or critically divisive, cult writers come in all shapes and guises. Some gain lasting fame, others achieve instant notoriety, and many remain anonymous until their work is finally appreciated. Described in short biographies and depicted in portraits—with recommended reading lists, of course—the 50 writers include some you may already know (Cormac McCarthy, Ursula K. Le Guin, Albert Camus, William S. Burroughs), but also some very enjoyable novelists you may not have encountered yet: Italo Calvino, Janet Frame, Raymond Queneau, Jim Thompson, Julio Cortazar, and Marguerite Duras.
