A PORTRAIT OF ELIZABETH SPENCER FROM THE FILM LANDSCAPES OF THE HEART.<\/p><\/div>\n

When she died last December at the age of ninety-eight, the novelist Elizabeth Spencer was described as \u201ca national treasure.\u201d The author of nine novels, eight story collections, a memoir, and a play, she had mastered every mode of literary fiction. Her first novel appeared in 1948 and her most recent book in 2014. On the page, Spencer makes what\u2019s technically difficult seem unusually clear, then psychologically inevitable. From the start, her voice was praised for its tonal nuance, its stratospheric empathy. Spencer had the gift for infusing social situations with a bullfight\u2019s fatality.<\/p>\n

She was born in 1921 in the waning plantation culture of Carrollton, Mississippi. Senator John McCain was her second cousin. She grew up owning a horse and believing in ghosts. The subject of race was inescapable in the Jim Crow South and it figured strongly in her fiction.<\/p>\n

At her career\u2019s very start, Elizabeth Spencer won the admiration of wise older writers, fine judges of talent like Robert Penn Warren and Eudora Welty. They identified her depth of insight, her fellow feeling, and the warm richness of her character.<\/p>\n

A Guggenheim Fellowship in 1953 allowed her to depart Mississippi for Italy. There she met and married John Rusher, an Englishman from Cornwall. The couple moved to Montreal in 1956. I first encountered Spencer when I published my first story at age twenty-six. She sent me a letter praising what I\u2019d done. Beginner\u2019s luck on all fronts. When Spencer became writer in residence at the University of North Carolina in 1986, she took up residence in Chapel Hill, where we became neighbors. <\/p>\n

Though she was my parents\u2019 age, I always considered her a contemporary. I admired her irreverent wit, her forgiving nature, her unsentimental love of animals. Elizabeth had some essential confidence that made her wonderfully receptive to others. Thin, she wore clothes it seemed she\u2019d always owned. She was beautiful but\u2014as a lapsed tomboy\u2014didn\u2019t seem to have noticed yet. She was an old hand at receiving and flirting with \u201cgentleman callers,\u201d and I was quite happy to be one. Her loyalty to friends was returned by a community that quietly adored her.<\/p>\n

Spencer\u2019s fiction reveals a trenchant eye for what\u2019s questing and ludicrous and therefore fully human. She has the keenest ear for all that people try to say but rarely speak aloud. She proved herself an indispensable witness to the difficulties of having a home and then leaving it, to the struggles of smart, sexually alive young women trying to find their way in the world. She had an aristocrat\u2019s insouciant talent for being talented. She treated others as her equals, though few actually were.<\/p>\n

Her 1956 novel The Voice at the Back Door<\/em> offered a prophetic overview of the Civil Rights era. The work chronicles the twisted politics surrounding a small town\u2019s execution of black citizens. The New York Times<\/em> pronounced it \u201cpractically perfect.\u201d Editorial pages in Mississippi rebuked her as a traitor. The book was unanimously chosen by the Pulitzer jurors, but its governing committee chose to give no prize in 1957. Spencer\u2019s candor about virulent segregationist racism is sometimes cited as the reason her award was withheld. Four years later, in 1961, To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em>\u2014based on a similar racial crime and clearly influenced by Spencer\u2019s book\u2014told its story from a child\u2019s perspective and won the Pulitzer.<\/p>\n

In 1962, Spencer\u2019s long story \u201cThe Light in the Piazza\u201d was filmed with Olivia de Havilland. And in 2005, the work became an opera of great freshness and force, winning six Tony Awards. It has become a staple of world theater.<\/p>\n

In The<\/em> Paris Review<\/em>\u2019s Art of Fiction interview<\/a>, Spencer was asked if she had ever adjusted to leaving the South. She responded, \u201cOh, no, I can never \u2018adjust\u2019 to losing anything I love. You have to count on memory more and daily rhythms less. But memory is a muse, after all, a girl with a vital life of her own.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let it be stated: as great as Elizabeth Spencer will remain on the page, she equaled and surpassed that as a friend.<\/p>\n
