Are Erskine Caldwell and Richard Ford both American novelists?
Erskine Caldwell Erskine Preston Caldwell (December 17, 1903 – April 11, 1987) was an American novelist and short story writer. His writings about poverty, racism and social problems in his native Southern United States in novels such as "Tobacco Road" (1932) and "God's Little Acre" (1933) won him critical acclaim, but also made him controversial among Southerners of the time who felt he was deprecating the people of the region.
Richard B. Wright Richard B. Wright, CM, (March 4, 1937 – February 7, 2017) was a Canadian novelist. He was known for his break-through 2001 novel "Clara Callan," which won three major literary awards in Canada: The Giller Prize, the Trillium Book Award, and the Governor General's Award.
