T. S. Stribling / TSStribling
Thomas Sigismund Stribling (March 4, 1881 - July 8, 1965) was an American writer and lawyer who published under the name T.S . Stribling. He won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1933 for his novel The Store. After moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 1907, Stribling picked up a job at the Taylor-Trotwood Magazine as a writer and salesman of ads and subscriptions and as 'a sort of sublimated office boy.' (Kunitz, 1359) It was at the magazine that Stribling had two works of fiction published: The Imitator and The Thrall of the Green, both reflecting the social themes for which he would later become renowned.
