Newton Booth Tarkington (July 29, 1869 – May 19, 1946) was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his novels "The Magnificent Ambersons" and "Alice Adams".

The Fortean Society was started in the United States in 1931 during a meeting held in the New York flat of Charles Hoy Fort in order to promote the ideas of American writer Charles Fort.
 The Fortean Society was primarily based in New York City.
 Its first president was Theodore Dreiser, an old friend of Charles Fort, who had helped to get his work published.
 Founding members of The Fortean Society included Tiffany Thayer, Booth Tarkington, Ben Hecht, Alexander Woollcott (and many of NYC's literati such as Dorothy Parker), and Baltimore writer H. L. Mencken.
 Other members included Vincent Gaddis, Ivan T. Sanderson, A. Merritt, Frank Lloyd Wright and Buckminster Fuller.
 The first 6 issues of the Fortean Society's newsletter "Doubt" were each edited by a different member, starting with Theodore Dreiser.
 Tiffany Thayer thereafter took over editorship of subsequent issues.
 Thayer began to assert extreme control over the society, largely filling the newsletter with articles written by himself, and excommunicating the entire San Francisco chapter, reportedly their most active, after disagreements over the society's direction, and forbidding them to use the name Fortean.
 During World War II, for example, Thayer used every issue of "Doubt" to espouse his politics.
 Particularly, he frequently expressed opposition to Civil Defense, going to such lengths as encouraging readers to turn on their lights in defiance to air raid sirens.
 In contrast to the spirit of Charles Fort, he not only dismissed flying saucers as nonsense, but also dismissed the atomic bomb as a hoax.

 Her husband Sergei Efron and her daughter Ariadna Efron (Alya) were arrested on espionage charges in 1941; and her husband was executed.

Russian literature refers to the literature of Russia and its émigrés and to the Russian-language literature of several independent nations once a part of what was historically Rus', the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union.
 The roots of Russian literature can be traced to the Middle Ages, when epics and chronicles in Old Russian were composed.
 By the Age of Enlightenment, literature had grown in importance, and from the early 1830s, Russian literature underwent an astounding golden age in poetry, prose and drama.
 Romanticism permitted a flowering of poetic talent: Vasily Zhukovsky and later his protégé Alexander Pushkin came to the fore.
 Prose was flourishing as well.
 The first great Russian novelist was Nikolai Gogol.
 Then came Ivan Turgenev, who mastered both short stories and novels.
 Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky soon became internationally renowned.
 In the second half of the century Anton Chekhov excelled in short stories and became a leading dramatist.
 The beginning of the 20th century ranks as the Silver Age of Russian poetry.
 The poets most often associated with the "Silver Age" are Konstantin Balmont, Valery Bryusov, Alexander Blok, Anna Akhmatova, Nikolay Gumilyov, Osip Mandelstam, Sergei Yesenin, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Marina Tsvetaeva and Boris Pasternak.
 This era produced some first-rate novelists and short-story writers, such as Aleksandr Kuprin, Nobel Prize winner Ivan Bunin, Leonid Andreyev, Fyodor Sologub, Aleksey Remizov, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Dmitry Merezhkovsky and Andrei Bely.
Mirra Lokhvitskaya (Russian: Ми́рра Ло́хвицкая ; born Maria Alexandrovna Lokhvitskaya – Russian: Мари́я Алекса́ндровна Ло́хвицкая ; November 19, 1869 – August 27, 1905) was a Russian poet who rose to fame in the late 1890s.
 In her short lifetime Lokhvitskaya published five books of poetry, the first and the last of which received the most coveted Russian literary award of the day, the Pushkin Prize.
 Due to the flamboyantly erotic sensuality of her works, Lokhvitskaya was regarded as the "Russian Sappho" by her contemporaries, which did not correspond with her conservative life style of dedicated wife and mother of five sons.
 Forgotten in Soviet times, in the late 20th century Lokhvitskaya's legacy was reassessed and she came to be regarded as one of the most original and influential voices of the Silver Age of Russian Poetry and the first in the line of modern Russian women poets who paved the way for Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvetaeva.
Sergei Yakovlevich Efron (Russian: Серге́й Я́ковлевич Эфро́н; 8 October 1893 – 16 October 1941), nicknamed Seryozha, was a Russian poet, officer of White Army and husband of Marina Tsvetaeva.
 While in emigration, he was recruited by the Soviet NKVD.
 After returning to USSR from France, he was executed.

 In "Penrod", Tarkington established characters who appeared in two further books, "Penrod and Sam" (1916) and "Penrod Jashber" (1929).
 The three books were published together in one volume, "Penrod: His Complete Story", in 1931.
