Shirley Jackson (San Francisco 1916 – Bennington 1965) studied at Syracuse University. In 1948, she published her first novel, The Road Through the Wall, and the short story "The Lottery" (included in the volume Selected Stories), a classic of the twentieth century. Her work —which also includes other novels, such as Hangsaman (1951), The Bird’s Nest (1954), and The Sundial (1958), and the autobiographical essays Life Among the Savages (1953) and Raising Demons (1956)— has had a significant influence on A. M. Homes, Stephen King, Jonathan Lethem, Richard Matheson, and Donna Tartt, among other writers. In 1962, she published We Have Always Lived in the Castle, which was considered by Time magazine one of the ten best novels of the year and was reissued by editorial minúscula in 2012. In 2010, the prestigious Library of America collected some of Jackson’s most significant works in a volume edited by Joyce Carol Oates.
