I am an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist. My economical and understated style—which included my iceberg theory—has a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while my adventurous lifestyle and public image brings me admiration from later generations. I produced most of my work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and I was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature.
