Deaver's writing won Flannery O'Connor and O. Henry awards.

Although he was not a household name, and his list of published works was not long, his written words were invariably of a high standard. And coupled with his outstanding work was the recognition by all who knew him that, as a human being of intelligence, compassion, and wit, there was nothing minor about him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Philip Deaver's stories were \"full of blurred time and half-lived dreams.
