Robert M. Coates was an accomplished American author, noted for his short fiction. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, he travelled throughout his youth with itinerant parents, and was educated at Yale. He tried to write for a living, and ended up in France with the Lost Generation, where he came under the influence of Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, and the Dada movement. He returned to New York, and worked steadily for New Yorker as an art reviewer and story writer. He went on to write several novels and numerous short stories, which were admired by critics and colleagues, but never achieved the mainstream popularity their quality deserved.
