About the author

Evan Connell

Evan Connell wrote with lapidary precision about the quiet desperation of suburban middle-class marriage in Mrs. Bridge and Mr. Bridge, two companion novels that are landmarks of postwar American realism. He also wrote the acclaimed historical narrative Son of the Morning Star.
