Still known to millions only as the author of the "The Lottery," Shirley Jackson (1916-1965) remainscuriously absent from the American literary canon. A genius of literary suspense, Jackson plumbed the cultural anxiety of postwar America better than anyone. Now, biographer Ruth Franklin reveals the tumultuous life and inner darkness of the author behindsuch classics as The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Placing Jackson within an American Gothic tradition of Hawthorne and Poe, Franklin demonstrates how her unique contribution to this genre came from her focus on "domestichorror" drawn from an era hostile to women. Based on a wealth of previously undiscovered correspondence and dozens of new interviews, Shirley Jackson, with its exploration of astonishing talent shaped by a damaged childhood and a troubled marriage to literary critic Stanley Hyman, becomes the definitive biography of a generational avatar and an American literary giant."-- $c Provided by publisher 600 10 $a Jackson, Shirley, $d 1916-1965. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women authors $z United States $v Biography. 941 $a 23 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043153.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020011612.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012014837.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629013252.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331012947.0 952 $l LTAX046 $d 20220805011557.0 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20220405020627.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210811010030.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722053419.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210105034713.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529012816.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022158.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20200110091657.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070212.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717032109.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107051234.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006102705.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180808032338.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720045146.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20180109012759.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20170923010154.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418121341.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20161216012050.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B7034F7070D211E6B79D7A86DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
