Novelist, born in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He published his first novel, Confusion, at the age of 19, fought in the US Army Corps in World War 2, then wrote Guard of Honor (1948, Pulitzer). His most popular success was By Love Possessed (1958, filmed 1961), but his appeal has waned since his death.
James Gould Cozzens (August 13, 1903 - August 8, 1978) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning U.S. novelist.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Cozzens won a 1936 O.
Cozzens' first novel, "Confusion," was published while he was still a student at Harvard.
The characters in Cozzens' novels are primarily professional, middle-class white men--a doctor in 'The Last Adam', a lawyer in By Love Possessed, for example--who confront issues such as duty and ethics in their careers while at the same time attempting to reconcile these with the emotional demands of their personal lives.
