| 释义 |
Fiction writer Joan Williams (1928-2004) was raised in Memphis, Tennessee. After schooling at the Miss Hutchinson School for Girls, she attended Bard College. During her time at Bard, Williams met and began a professional and personal relationship with novelist William Faulkner, a relationship that has overshadowed her own successful career as a novelist. Writing CareerWilliams published her first stories while a student at Bard College. "Rain Later" received the College Fiction Prize from Mademoiselle , and four years later, she published a sequel in the same venue. These two stories together formed the nucleus of her first novel, "The Morning and the Evening," whose publication led novelist William Styron to call Williams a "greatly gifted writer."[1] Personal LifeWilliams and Faulkner's relationship was both personal and professional, but Williams never found the personal part of it satisfying: correspondence between the two writers shows Faulkner's ongoing frustration with Williams' ambivalence.[2] In 1954, she married sportswriter and editor Ezra Bowen, whose mother was biographer Catherine Drinker Bowen.[2] Williams and Bowen had two sons. From 1984 to 1994, she lived with Atlantic editor Seymour Lawrence, who had accepted a story of hers in 1952.
