- <p> DIED. PETER TAYLOR, 77, short-story author and novelist; in
- Charlottesville, Virginia. Admired for his finely detailed,
- elegiac portraits of Southern aristocracy, Taylor received a
- 1987 Pulitzer Prize for his novel A Summons to Memphis. During
- the previous four decades Taylor produced eight volumes of short
- fiction, vivid masterpieces of the form, noted for a richness
- of narrative even as they conformed to the author's dictum that
- "compression is everything."
