Maxwell, William
(16 ago. 1908, Lincoln, Ill., EE.UU.–31 jul. 2000, Nueva York, N.Y.).

Editor y autor estadounidense. Maxwell impartió clases de inglés en la Universidad de Illinois, antes de pasar a formar parte del personal de la revista The New Yorker. Durante los 40 años que permaneció allí, editó a escritores como John Cheever, J.D. Salinger, Eudora Welty y Mavis Gallant. Escribió cuentos y novelas depuradas y evocadoras. Tal vez su obra más conocida sea The Folded Leaf [La hoja doblada] (1945), que cuenta la historia de la amistad entre dos niños de pueblo. Entre sus otras obras, se destacan las novelas The Château [El castillo] (1961) y Adiós, hasta mañana (1980) y la colección de cuentos All the Days and Nights [Todos los días y noches] (1995).
