Salamanca, J(ack) R(ichard) 1924?–

An American novelist, Salamanca writes hauntingly lyrical prose. Although he has often explored madness and the limits of human consciousness, he has been mainly preoccupied in his fiction with the failure of love. (See also CLC, Vol. 4, and Contemporary Authors, Vols. 25-28, rev. ed.)
