Harold Brodkey
Harold Brodkey, born Aaron Roy Weintraub (October 25, 1930 born in Staunton, Illinois – January 26, 1996 Manhattan) was an American short story writer and novelist. He was the father of Temi Rose, born "Ann Emily Brodkey".
==Life==
Brodkey was born in Staunton, Illinois to an illiterate junk dealer. His mother died while he was an infant and he was raised by his father's relatives (who adopted him) in University City, Missouri outside St. Louis. When he was eight, his adoptive mother developed cancer and his adoptive father had a stroke. The death of his mother and illness of his adoptive parents would be obsessively chronicled again and again in his writing. After graduating from Harvard University in 1952, Brodkey began his writing career by contributing short stories to ''The New Yorker'' and other magazines. His stories won him two first-place O. Henry Awards. In 1993 Brodkey announced in ''The New Yorker'' that he had contracted AIDS. He later wrote ''This Wild Darkness'' about his battle with the disease. At the time of his death in 1996, he was living in New York City with his wife, novelist Ellen Brodkey (née Schwamm).
Brodkey is most famous for taking thirty-two years to revise and publish his first novel ''A Party of Animals'', during which time a sort of legend grew up around the much-anticipated book. When it was finally published as ''The Runaway Soul'' (1991), it was not warmly received and caused puzzlement as to whether it was really the same book he had been promising for decades.
He died of a complication of AIDS, contracting the virus from a homosexual relationship. Brodkey never considered himself gay.
