  Jean Stafford
Stafford, Jean (July 1, 1915 - March 26, 1979), novelist and short story writer, was born in Covina, California, the youngest of four children of John Richard Stafford and Mary Ethel McKillop Stafford.
Stafford's writing weaves together the various strands of her upbringing: the natural grandeur of the West; isolation and loneliness in youth and adolescence; and her struggle against what she regarded, with a strong sense of shame, as the cramped, spiritually impoverished world of her parents.
Stafford taught briefly at St. Stephens College, in Columbia, Missouri, but disliked teaching; she also worked at the Southern Review in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and lived with Lowell in New York City and Tennessee before moving to Boston, where (despite suing him in connection with the accident) she married him in 1940.

 Jean Stafford:The Writer as Surgeon
Stafford was a master at making scintillating fiction out of material that would have defeated more pedestrian writers.
As Joyce Carol Oates notes in her introduction, Stafford herself was "disfigured" in an automobile accident caused by her then-husband, the poet Robert Lowell, who was driving while drunk.
In a tour de force that does justice to states of mind that can hardly be described, Stafford evokes not only the pain suffered by her protagonist, Pansy Vanneman, as she undergoes surgery, but also the bizarre effects of the procedure on her unaesthetized brain:

Stafford manipulates the plot so that Katherine has plausible reason to believe that Andrew may have gained knowledge of the forbidden love and, thereby, we come to the fantastic situation: the two cousins, each with a terrible secret, exist and suffer with the mortal apprehension that each knows what the other is concealing.
