Description

Reviving the life and work of a neglected master, this biography establishes Shirley Jackson as a towering figure in American literature.

A genius of literary suspense, known to millions as the author of the The Lottery, Shirley Jackson (1916-1965) plumbed the cultural anxiety of postwar America better than anyone. Based on a wealth of previously undiscovered correspondence and dozens of interviews, Shirley Jackson reveals the tumultuous life and inner darkness of the author, firmly placing Jackson within the American Gothic tradition.
