    Edith Wharton

    Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was an American novelist—the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Age of Innocence in 1921—as well as a short story writer, playwright, designer, reporter, and poet. Her other works include Ethan Frome, The House of Mirth, and Roman Fever and Other Stories. Born into one of New York’s elite families, she drew upon her knowledge of upper-class aristocracy to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age.

      "The Triumph of Night" is a short story, first published in 1916.Set in a Siberian-like American winter, Mr Faxon is left stranded at a railway station, where he meets Frank Rainer. Rainer takes Faxon with him to his uncle's house. From here the story takes on a psychological and supernatural turn.This is my first experience of Edith Wharton's writing and I am impressed.
