Terrence "Terry" E. Holt M.D. (sometimes credited as "T. E. Holt") is an American Geriatric Internal doctor, and writer as well as a former professor of literature at Rutgers University and Swarthmore College.
He graduated from Cornell University, and from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. [1]
His single debut book, a collection of short stories entitled In the Valley of the Kings , which was praised by Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Díaz, National Book Award winner Gerald Stern, National Book Award finalist Aleksandar Hemon.
"In the Valley of the Kings," faithful in myriad ways to Maugham's "life in the raw," will take its rightful place beside those works of genius — fiction, philosophy, theology — unafraid of axing into our iced hearts. These stories will endure for as long as our hurt kind remains to require their truth.
The seven stories and one novella that constitute "In the Valley of the Kings" take the entire solar system for their canvas.
