Description
by Vera Caspary (Author)
Vera Caspary, the celebrated author of Laura, tells her own story in this captivating autobiography.
With a career that spanned from the 1920s through 1970s, one that produced over twenty novels, in addition to her many credits for film and theater, Caspary centered her life around a passion for writing. From her early experiences at an advertisement agency--where she developed a correspondence school and invented its "famed" instructor--to the struggles of being gray-listed in the McCarthy Era, Caspary constantly found a way to turn her creative needs into viable work. Caspary recalls the rest of a full life, too, including her flirtation with communism, travels across Europe, and a marriage. Caspary's skillful writing makes her incredible depictions of people, and the times in which they lived, jump off the page.Author Biography

Born in 1899 in Chicago, Caspary came into young adulthood during the Roaring Twenties, the spirit of which had a profound effect on her career and writing--her work often featuring independent women and their struggles with identity. She is perhaps best known for her novel Laura, which was adapted into an immensely popular 1944 film that is esteemed as one of the greatest examples of film noir.
