I need some help.

Okay so I am suppose to do a research paper for my 1302 english class.

We are suupose to pick an author and a short story they wrote and tell how the authors life, background/bio. affectedthe short story.

For example if an author had a disease during their life and struggled with this disease and wrote something about a charater battling with an illness.

Only obvious one I can think of is W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage — but that’s not a short story…

Have you thought of Katharine Anne Porter (lots of short stories, but I don’t know what her “hubris” was)?

Or Antoine de St. Exupery (The Little Prince) ?

O. Henry?

Edgar Allen Poe? (“Eleonora”) Poe was also an alcoholic, and many of his stories deal with drunkards

These are among my favorite authors — maybe with a little bit of investigative work, you’ll find a malady and a short story to go with it.
