McCaffery is Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature at San Diego State University, California, and one of the most important literary scholars, critics, and editors of innovative contemporary fiction. His numerous and influential publications, e.g., on metafiction, postmodernism, cyberpunk, and avant-pop, include four groundbreaking books of interviews with contemporary authors and three equally important fiction anthologies. There are only a very few scholars in literary and cultural studies who have pursued new scholarly paths through unknown and rough terrain with such intellectual fervor, stamina, sincerity, self-awareness, and—last but not least (and very necessary!)—humor than McCaffery.
