Glenway Wescott (1901–1987) was a novelist, poet, and essayist, best known for his novels The Grandmothers and The Pilgrim Hawk. Associated with the expatriate literary community in Paris in the 1920s, Wescott was part of the circle that included Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway. Though his fiction output slowed later in life, he remained an important literary figure and a respected voice in American letters.
