I am a daughter of the writer William Fifield (1916-1987), and I am his literary executor. I will be posting an entry for him. He was a novelist and nonfiction author, and he wrote short stories. One of those stories won an O. Henry Award in 1943.
A brief biography of him is available at the site of The Paris Review: https://www.theparisreview.org/william-fifield
In addition to posting the entry, I'll add links to pages that cite him, such as the page for Mercedes McCambridge, an actress who won an Academy Award.
