Jane Bowles

Jane Bowles (Jane Sydney Auer; February 22, 1917 – May 4, 1973) was an American writer and playwright. Jane Bowles published Two Serious Ladies, her only novel, at the age of twenty-six and later wrote a book of short stories, Plain Pleasures, and a play, In the Summer House. In 1957 she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that practically prevented her from reading and writing again; she died in Malaga in 1973.
