In December 2006, publishers Shoemaker & Hoard republished two of Markson's early crime novels Epitaph for a Tramp and Epitaph for a Dead Beat in one volume. While his early works may draw on the modernist tradition of William Faulkner and Malcolm Lowry, Markson says his later novels are "literally crammed with literary and artistic anecdotes" and "nonlinear, discontinuous, collage-like, an assemblage."ĭalkey Archive Press has published several of his novels. Markson's work is characterized by an unconventional approach to narration and plot. His most recent work, The Last Novel, was published in 2007 and received a positive review in the New York Times, which called it "a real tour de force." He is the author of several postmodern novels, including This is Not a Novel, Springer's Progress, and Wittgenstein's Mistress. David Markson was an American novelist, born David Merrill Markson in Albany, New York.
