- Eric Kraft
Eric Kraft (born 1944) is an American author. He is best known for his series of novels that make up "The Personal History, Adventures, Experiences and Observations of Peter Leroy." Each novel tells of some aspect of the fictional Peter Leroy's life, with several of them supposed to have been written by Leroy. Kraft's website describes the series:
"The Personal History, Adventures, Experiences & Observations of Peter Leroy is one large work of fiction composed of many interconnected parts. Its parts are the memoirs and collected works of a fictional character, Peter Leroy, who tells an alternative version of his life story; explores the effect of imagination on perception, memory, hope, and fear; holds a fun-house mirror to scenes of life in the United States; ruminates upon the nature of the universe and the role of human consciousness within it; and prods and probes the painful world of time and place in search of the niches where hilarity hides."
The novels published so far in the series are:
