	The Life of James Shirley (1596-1666)
		Shirley wrote 36 plays between 1625 and the closing of the theatres in 1642; they establish him as a leading dramatist of the Caroline stage.
		Shirley was an admirer of Beaumont and Fletcher, and their influence is apparent in Shirley's comedies and tragicomedies, like Hyde Park (1632), The Gamester (1633), and The Sisters (1642).
		Shirley is a comedian of wit, and may be thought of as a precursor to the great age of Restoration comedy; the dialogues of his plays are very witty, full of double entendre and satire of contemporary modes of living.

	John Shirley Book Reviews
		Shirley's vision is one that may take a couple readings to fully "get"; even when he's exploring familar subjects, Shirley's success is rooted in the way he slyly incorporates the periphery of contemporary culture -- and all of its ugly excess -- into his narrative focus.
		Shirley's hyperkinetic vision of a fractured, anarchic United States steeped in the mythology of the late 20th century is terrific.
		Shirley navigates the periphery of late 20th century culture with the doggedness of J.G. Ballard and the resolve of a hacker out to crash the mother of all mainframes.

	John Shirley Crawlers reviewed by Rick Kleffel
		John Shirley has the skill to spark his characters into a life beyond the page, and he deploys it frighteningly well in 'Crawlers'.
		As a visionary writer, Shirley has a long and strong record demonstrating his knowledge of void-induced terror; as a father, Shirley has three sons in the vicinity of their teenage years.
		Shirley's MacGuffin in 'Crawlers' is a plausibly portrayed nanotech program run by a government set on staying one step ahead in the arms race.
