Susan Fromberg Schaeffer (March 25, 1940 to August 26, 2011) wrote 14 novels, and various other books, such as,  Folding the patterned carpet: form and theme in the novels of Vladimir Nabokov (1966). She did book reviewing for the New York Times. Her doctorate in English was from the University of Chicago, and she and her husband both taught at Brooklyn College many years. Among her awards was a 1984 Guggenheim Fellowship. In 1997 she published on an atypical topic, a labor of love: The Autobiography of Foudini M. Cat - a story told from a cat's perspective.
