Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life

"On the centennial of Shirley Jackson’s birth, Ruth Franklin’s new biography examines one of the most underappreciated writers of the 20th century. With meticulous research and a trove of previously undiscovered correspondence, Franklin fights to put Jackson in her rightful place in the American canon alongside her more well-known male peers. This fresh, feminist take on Jackson’s life and her blend of the domestic and the darker genres is sure to spark renewed interest in her work and her legacy."
