Hoagland, Edward
Hoagland, Edward (1932–), New York City‐born author, graduated from Harvard. His novels include Cat Man (1956), about circus life; The Circle Home (1960), dealing with prizefighters; and The Peacock's Tail (1965), set in a city's slums. Other works include a book about travel in British Columbia, Notes from the Century Before (1969), and The Courage of Turtles (1971). Walking the Dead Diamond River (1972), Red Wolves and Black Bears (1976), The Tugman's Passage (1982), and Balancing Acts (1992), are essays on rural and urban life, ecology, and animals, with subjects indicated by titles, as is true also of African Calliope: A Journey to the Sudan (1979). More imaginative is his novel Seven Rivers West (1986), about a Bostonian on the prairies and in the Rockies in 1887, although more atmospheric than plot‐organized. City Tales (1986) are four stories set in New York City.
