Bio

Born in Indian Creek, Texas, in 1890 (as Callie Russell Porter), Katherine Anne Porter considered herself the first native Texan to become a professional writer. She became a highly acclaimed fiction writer, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for a collection of her works in 1966. Her short stories, essays and articles contain many references to her early life in Texas. But she said she left Texas because she didn't want to be regarded as a freak, which was how she believed Texans regarded women who tried to write. Her best known work is her only novel, Ship of Fools, published in 1962 and later made into a motion picture.
