Died in 1979
Jean Stafford was born in 1915 in Covina, California, the daughter of a writer of westerns who lost the family fortune, and grew up in Colorado, where her mother took in female students as boarders. She studied in Heidelberg. In 1938 a car accident, with Robert Lowell at the wheel, crushed her face; she married him in 1940 and divorced in 1948, before marrying Oliver Jensen, then A. J. Liebling. She published three novels and more than forty short stories, mostly in the New Yorker, and received the Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for the volume that collects them. She died in 1979 in White Plains, in New York State.
