In my 11/9/2022 post is a short story by American author Kate Chopin (d. 1904). A short bio reveals surprising details about Kate and her struggle to write while raising five boys and two girls. A son worked at the San Francisco Examiner as a cartoonist. She is compared to Stephen Crane and San Francisco author Frank Norris, whom I have read, and now one story by the lady buried in St. Louis’ Calvary Cemetery.

“The losses in Kate Chopin’s life had serious impacts on her views and writing. For example, her father’s death inspired her to write ‘The Story of an Hour,’ which was the imagined effect she thought it would have on her mother.” Quote from a biography titled, “Kate Chopin’s Life and Personal Influence,” dated 5-7-2008, by Jasdomin Tolentino, Pace University.

In fact, Kate and her mother were quite alike, they say.
