Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life

Known to millions for her classic story “The Lottery,” Shirley Jackson took the American gothic tradition of Poe, Hawthorne, and Lovecraft and brought it down to earth. Her novels and stories brilliantly plumbed the dark underside of the conformist postwar decades, as well as her own personal struggles in marriage and motherhood, to craft a subtle genre of domestic horror that Dorothy Parker hailed for its “beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders.” Jackson biographer Ruth Franklin, editor of Library of America’s "Shirley Jackson: Four Novels of the 1940s and 50s, " joins novelist and literary critic Francine Prose and playwright John Guare for a pre-Halloween conversation about one of our most haunting writers. Presented in partnership with the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers. -- Donate to support LOA LIVE programs: loa.org/loalive.
