He has also written memoirs about his Greek-American family, Stelmark: A Family Recollection (McKay, 1970), which was later incorporated into Reflections: A Writer's Life, A Writer's Work (Lake View Press, 1984), and Tales of the Heart: Dreams and Memories of a Lifetime (Ivan R. Dee, 1999). His short fiction was assembled in Collected Stories, published by Lake View Press in 1987.
