- Chandler Brossard (July 18, 1922-1993) was an American novelist, playwright, editor, and teacher. He bagn his career as a reporter for the Washington Post; at age nineteen he was hired by William Shawn to write for the New Yorker. His first published novel, "Who Walk In Darkness" (1952), focused on the bohemian life of 1940s Greenwich Village, and was sometimes referred to as the first Beat novel, which did not please him. Brossard also worked as an editor for Time, Look, and the American Mercury, and wrote literary criticism for Commentary, the Guardian, and the Nation. He taught and served as writer-in-residence at several colleges and universities, including the University of Birmingham (England), the New School for Social Research (New York), and Schiller College (Paris). He wrote three novels under the pseudonym Daniel Harper. His papers are housed at the University of Syracuse Library.
