| biography:
| Writer, born in New York City, New York, USA. After her marriage to the writer Paul Bowles in 1938, she lived mostly abroad. Her literary reputation rests on a slender output from the 1940s–1950s: a novel Two Serious Ladies (1943), a play, and a volume of stories notable for its feminism and an oblique experimentalism influenced by Gertrude Stein. A stroke left her unable to read or write for her last 15 years and she died in a hospital in Malaga, Spain, where she had lived for that time. |
