She was 91. In six novels and dozens of short stories, Ms. Grau examined the racial prejudice of White Southerners, the limited opportunities traditionally afforded to women and the inexorable pull of the past in places such as Louisiana, where she was born, and Alabama, where she spent much of her childhood. Shirley Ann Grau was born in New Orleans on July 8, 1929. In 1955, she married James K. Feibleman. They settled in Metairie, a New Orleans suburb, where Ms. Grau--who became Shirley Feibleman but used her maiden name in print--sailed and fished on Lake Pontchartrain and collected an estimated 8,000 books) |
