Once derided as a hopeless cynic, American author Ambrose Bierce now enjoys a solid literary reputation. Witty and sardonic, Bierce speaks to our own scandal-ridden times. His savage Civil War stories have become classics and his Devil’s Dictionary is often quoted. In this insightful 20-page biography, Bruce Watson explores the sorrow behind the wit, and probes Bierce’s mysterious disappearance a century ago.
