This reference guide to the entirety of Hilton's works--novels, short stories, nonfiction, and film adaptations--gives a detailed account of his life and literary career (including a complete chronology), a listing of his works, and a key to the important characters and locations. The main body of the text is devoted to an examination of his writing, including a section devoted to adaptations of his novels into movies. |
