Biographical History
Prominent Louisiana author of several modern American novels, including AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITTMAN, and writer in residence at the University of Southwestern Louisiana.
Ernest J. Gaines, a prominent African American writer, was born on Jan. 15, 1933. He grew up in the slave quarters of a plantation in Pointe Coupee, Louisiana, a place which influenced his fiction. He received his early education there in a schoolroom in a plantation church. At fifteen he moved to Vallejo, California, to live with his mother and stepfather. When he was seventeen he wrote his first novel, but it was rejected by a publisher. He later rewrote it and published it as Catherine Carmier. He served with the Army for two years and won a writing fellowship to Stanford University. Among his many published works are the novels The autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, A lesson before dying, and In my father's house. Several of his works have been made into films, most notably the television version of The autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, which aired in 1974.
