1242. Kay Boyle, 1903–
Kay Boyle has passed much of her life as an expatriate, a fact which is reflected in her fiction dealing with one or two Americans in Europe, often in France. As a result her theme often becomes one of contrasting individuals or cultures. Occasionally she has drifted from portraying "normal" conflicts to portraying sexual perversions and writing moral "horror" stories, such as Gentlemen, I Address You Privately (1933) and Monday Night (1938). An experimentalist who has been praised for her style and for her evocation of places and things more than for her character presentation, her objectivity or noninvolvement in her stories lends an appearance of realism, despite linguistically mannered prose. Her work is usually more sustained in her short stories and novelettes than in her longer works, and many have regarded her as one of the best of modern short-story writers.
