Walter Tevis (1928-1984)
Walter Stone Tevis (February 28, 1928 - August 8, 1984) was an American novelist and short story author. His books became the sources for several major films. Tevis was born in San Francisco, California. As a child, Walter grew up in San Francisco's Sunset District, near the sea and Golden Gate Park. When he was ten years old, his parents placed him in the Stanford Children's Convalescent home for a year while they returned to Kentucky, where the Tevis family had been given a grant of land in Madison County. At the age of 11, Walter traveled across country alone on a train to rejoin his family.
