Jack O'Connor
John Woolf O'Connor, who published under the name Jack O'Connor, was born on January 22, 1902. A citizen of the United States, he came of age during a period of considerable ferment in American writing, and he made his way through that era as a working writer.
O'Connor spent his career in the craft of writing, contributing to American letters across the middle decades of the twentieth century. The Library of Congress records him under the authorized form of his name — Jack O'Connor, 1902–1978 — a designation that marks the span of a life given over to the written word. Beyond that institutional acknowledgment, the particulars of his output belong to the fuller record that time and scholarship preserve.
He died on January 20, 1978, just two days short of his seventy-sixth birthday.
