露丝·弗兰克林《雪莉·杰克逊：困扰的人生》

Known best for her 1948 story The Lottery, and her novels The Haunting of Hill House (1959) and We Have Always Lived in the Castle (1962), Shirley Jackson wrote literary suspense in the tradition of Hawthorne, Poe and Henry James. Franklin tracks Jackson's mythmaking life from her girlhood in a northern Californian suburb through her marriage to literary critic Stanley Edgar Hyman with whom she had four children.

雪莉·杰克逊的悬疑作品沿袭了霍桑、坡和享利·詹姆斯的风格，她最著名的作品是1948年的故事《彩票》及小说《山宅鬼惊魂》（1959）。弗兰克林追溯了杰克逊神奇的人生经历，从她在加州北部的少女时光，写到她的婚姻，又写到和她一起生育了四个孩子的文学批评家斯坦利·爱德加·海曼。

伊弥尔·麦克布莱德《小波西米亚人》

McBride wowed the literary world with her first novel, A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing, which won the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction and the first Goldsmiths Prize, among others. McBride writes of her narrator's tentative first roles in student plays, and a year of increasing intimacy with an older actor. As he describes his own childhood, and twisted relationship with his mother, she struggles to tame her own most powerful instincts.

麦克布莱德的第一部小说《女孩是半成品》震惊了整个文学界，她获得了百利女性奖（虚构类）和金匠奖等诸多奖项。麦克布莱描写了主人公在学生戏剧中尝试表演的最早的角色，还写到她有一年与一位年长的演员越来越亲密。当他描述自己的童年以及与母亲的病态关系时，她尽力压抑着自己最强烈的本能情感。
