Шаблон:Infobox person Elizabeth Fenwick Way (April 5, 1916 – November 20, 1996),[1] who wrote as Elizabeth Fenwick and E. P. Fenwick, was an American mystery writer, novelist, and author of books for children.[2] Her 1963 mystery novel The Make-Believe Man was nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award by the Mystery Writers of America.[3]

In 1948, Way became friends with writer Flannery O'Connor while they were living at Yaddo, a writers' community in Saratoga Springs, New York. According to O'Connor biographer Melissa Simpson, O'Connor "...Шаблон:Nbspcultivated several enduring friendships while at Yaddo, the most notable being her friendship with Elizabeth Fenwick WayШаблон:Nbsp...". When O'Connor left Yaddo for New York City in 1949, Way helped her find an apartment.[4]

Some of Way's manuscripts and papers are held by the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University.[5]

Critical reviews

Commenting in 1980 on Fenwick's crime fiction, reviewer Carol Cleveland said, "Elizabeth Fenwick's suspense novels are remarkable for the degree of horror they can extract from minimal materials."[2]

In a 1963 review of new children's books, Jane C. Morse praised Fenwick's Cockleberry Castle, saying, ". . . in a story by a new writer in her first book for children Elizabeth Fenwick puts the climax at the right time and in the right place."[6]

In 1968, Kirkus Reviews said of Goodbye, Aunt Elva that it depicts "...Шаблон:Nbspthe kind of quiet victimization, in old house slippers, which Miss Fenwick manages so well: not her best, but her next best is better than most."[7]
