William Gay 
Stories from the Attic [EPUB ebook] 

Born in Tennessee in 1939, William Gay began writing at fifteen and wrote his first novel at twenty-five, but didn’t begin publishing until well into his fifties. He worked as a TV salesman, in local factories, did construction, hung sheetrock, and painted houses to support himself. He preferred to sit in a kitchen chair at the edge of the woods with a spiral-bound notebook on his knee, writing in his peculiar scrawling longhand. His works include <i>The Long Home, Provinces of Night, I Hate to See That Evening Sun Go Down, Wittgenstein’s Lolita, </i> and <i>Twilight</i>. His work has been adapted for the screen twice, <i>That Evening Sun</i> (2009) and <i>Bloodworth</i> (2010). Most recently, his debut novel has been optioned for film. He died in 2012.
