Speed Lamkin
Hillyer Speed Lamkin (born Monroe, Louisiana, November 2, 1927 - Monroe, Louisiana, May 3, 2011) is an American novelist and playwright. He is best known for his first novel ''Tiger in the Garden'' (1950) and was called "the poor man's Truman Capote" by the composer Ned Rorem.〔Ned Rorem, ''A Ned Rorem Reader'', Yale University Press, 2001, page 276〕 He was a recipient of a 1950 O. Henry Award for his short story ''Comes a Day''.
==Background==
Lamkin was the son of Ebb Tyler Lamkin (1893–1958), a prominent member of Monroe society, and his wife, the former Eugenia Layton Speed (born 1901). He was named for his maternal grandfather, Hillyer Rolston Speed, an insurance executive.
He had one sibling, Marguerite, who became a voice coach for Southern-themed films such as ''Baby Doll'', ''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'', ''The Long, Hot Summer'', and ''Raintree County''. Married to screenwriter Harry Brown and actor Rory Harrity, she is now the wife of Mark Littman, Queen's Counsel and former deputy chairman of British Steel.〔Cathy Horyn, "If Holly Golightly Had Grown Up", The New York Times, 4 April 1999〕()
