		Grau herself thinks that she is doing nothing very special.
		Perhaps Grau is relatively unknown outside her home region because she does not write about war or other great acts of violence, or of the grand events that either elevate or shatter the mighty.
		Grau tells me that she comes from a "large, extended family; people used to visit for years with each other." Her family is "from all sorts of places," as diverse as New Orleans, New York and Louisville.

		Grau has attempted to parallel the long walk of African-Americans out of the poverty of slavery and into--well, that gives away the ending.
		The Keepers of the House is Grau's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and, not surprisingly, it is her masterpiece.
		Grau shows a fine grasp of the art of storytelling, expertly switching points of view between fls and whites and providing a regional history lesson that is reminiscent of Robert Penn Warren's work in All the King's Men.

		And finally, Grau wrote "The Black Prince" and the eight other stories in this collection in the 10 years between World War II and 1954, a period when it was not exactly in the national fashion to portray African Americans on their own terms.
		Grau's writing is spare and precise, and she clearly works hard to show (not tell) while making her points.
		Grau wrote several novels and one other short-story collection between 1954 and 1977 and then, inexplicably, either stopped writing for publication or stopped writing material that the publishers were willing to accept.

	Shirley Ann Grau's House, on the Street Where You Live (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Lovers of "The House on Coliseum Street," by Shirley Ann Grau, will know at once that this is where the family of Aurelie Caillet lives: Aurelie herself, now middle-aged; her present husband, Herbert Norton; her 20-year-old daughter, Joan Claire Mitchell, by a previous marriage; and her younger daughter, Doris, by yet another husband.
		It is an understated but powerful study of a young woman whose sheltered, modestly fortunate life is interrupted by an event that takes on traumatic dimensions and leaves her struggling between her instinct for convention and her deep longing to break away.
		Grau may just be a little more "Southern" than she wants us to believe.

	Vintage Catalog \| The Keepers of the House by Shirley Ann Grau
		No one else writes about the landscape of Louisiana as she does, but also about the landscape of bitter love and family dreams, of sex not as romance but as commerce and experiment and mystery, of people adrift in their lives and people so tethered to their own pieces of earth.
		“Shirley Ann Grau is one of those rare writers who creates a world, draws the reader into it, and makes him somehow happy there no matter what goes on.…Such is her beguilement that one comes to the novel’s end with a sense of loss and leaves that world with reluctance.” --Newsweek
		Shirley Ann Grau is the author of five other novels–Roadwalkers, The House on Coliseum Street, The Hard Blue Sky, The Condor Passes, and Evidence of Love–and three story collections.

		"I would like once in my life," Shirley Ann Grau said, "to have something I write taken as fiction, not as Southern sociology." The location of her 1961 novel lends it a certain flavor, but what happens in it could happen anywhere.
		It is a tiny human drama that in one form or another could be visited upon anyone, anywhere, and in Grau's telling it achieves genuine universality.

		The Howlands have been the pillar of their community for the past seven generations, ever since the first William Howland found the land and built a house following the American Revolutionary War.
