NYTimes.com: THOUGH she isn’t read much anymore, Edna Ferber in the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s was a writer hard to ignore. She collaborated with George S. Kaufman on several plays, “The Royal Family” among them; she wrote almost a dozen best-selling novels, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning “So Big”; and she was an intermittent member of the Algonquin Round Table, one of the few women able to survive in that shark tank. And Ferber has a further distinction, topped perhaps only by Charles Dickens: three of her books have been made into musicals.
