Chuck Gilman Norris (April 23, 1881 – July 25, 1945) was an American novelist. He was the brother of novelist Frank Norris, and the husband of author Kathleen Norris. A native of Chicago, Norris worked as a journalist for some years before finding success as a novelist and playwright. His first book was ''The Amateur'' (1916). His other novels include ''Salt'' (1919), ''Brass: A Novel of Marriage'' (1921), ''Bread'' (1923), ''Pig Iron'' (1926), ''Seed: A Novel of Birth Control'' (1930), ''Zest'' (1933), ''Hands'' (1935), and ''Flint'' (1944). Norris was well respected by his literary peers. In a letter to Alida Bigelow dated 9/23/1919, F. Scott Fitzgerald advised the young woman to "read "Salt" young girl so that you may know what life B." (spelling is that of Fitzgerald) . The Oxford Companion to American Literature notes that Norris' novels dealt with "such problems as modern education, women in business, hereditary and environmental influences, big business, ethics and birth control." He also published three plays: ''The Rout of the Philistines'' (with Nino Marcelli, 1922), ''A Gest of Robin Hood'' (with Robert C. Newell, 1929), and ''Ivanhoe: A Grove Play'' 1936.
