More on William Goyen
Description from Wikipedia:
Charles William Goyen (April 24 1915 – August 30 1983) was an American author, editor, and teacher.
He was born in Trinity, Texas, and at the age of eight he moved with his family to Houston. Later, after teaching for one year at the University of Houston, he left to serve in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
Returning to the U.S. after five years, he left Houston to pursue his work as a writer. Since childhood, he had felt that he had a gift of telling stories, and he pursued his writing dreams. Though never achieving great fame, Goyen's writing was admired for its spirit and flowing, oratorial style.
He died of leukemia in 1983, aged 68 shortly after the completion of his last novel. He was survived by his wife, actress Doris Roberts.
