- Q8014116 abstract "William Krasner (June 8, 1917 – October 29, 2003) was an American mystery novelist. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, he was the son of Russian Jewishimmigrants. He attended Soldan High School, beginning his writing career early by working on the literary magazine alongside Tennessee Williams. After high school, heworked in the U.S. Postal Service, then volunteered for the military as a Warrant Officer in the Army Air Corps. The G.I. bill enabled him to earn a bachelor's degree in psychology from Columbia University, where he also studied fiction writing under prominent Southern Agrarian novelist Caroline Gordon.His first novel Walk the Dark Streets (1949), was nominated for an Edgar Award and was adapted as an episode of the television series Studio One in Hollywood. Its main character, lieutenant Sam Birge, would also appear in The Stag Party (1957), Death of a Minor Poet (1984) and Resort to Murder (1986). Krasner's short fiction was published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and Yank, the Army Weekly. Krasner’s novels and stories have been translated into French, Italian, Japanese, and, most extensively, German. A fifth Sam Birge novel, entitled Opfer einer Razzia (Death the Dancer)(1991) was published only in German. In 1956 he married Juanita Frazier of Troy, MO, a Methodist minister, and the couple had four sons. He moved to the Philadelphia area in 1969.Raymond Chandler praised Krasner’s mystery fiction in a 1951 letter to Frederic Dannay: “[I]t may also happen that single book, such as ... Walk the Dark Streets by William Krasner ... will immediately put the writer above and beyond a whole host of writers who have written twenty or thirty books and are extremely well known and successful”. His work was also recognized by cultural critic and historian Jacques Barzun. Krasner also published two realistic urban novels, The Gambler (1950) and North of Welfare (1954) and one work of historical fiction, Francis Parkman: Dakota Legend (1982). In 1955 he received an award for literature from the National Institute of Arts and Letters (now the American Academy of Arts and Letters).In addition to his fiction, Krasner produced an extensive non-fiction body of work. He co-wrote Drug Trip Abroad (1972), a work on drug addiction for the University of Pennsylvania, and published extensively in medical and psychological journals. He also wrote many articles for newspapers and magazines, including a feature on Father Charles "Dismas" Clark, SJ, for Harper’s Magazine. and a series on growing up in St. Louis in the 1930s for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.William Krasner’s papers are now housed in the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University and in the Special Collections Department at Washington University in St. Louis.".
