Ernest Starr
Best known for the short story "The Clearer Sight," this early 20th-century writer appeared in the pages of The Atlantic and later in the anthology Atlantic Narratives: Modern Short Stories. Only a small amount of biographical information is readily documented, which gives the work an added air of mystery.

About the author
Ernest Starr is a little-known author whose surviving published work includes "The Clearer Sight," a short story that appeared in The Atlantic in September 1909.
That story was later included in Atlantic Narratives: Modern Short Stories (1918), placing Starr alongside a wide range of notable contributors in a collection that helped preserve the piece for later readers. Modern listings from Project Gutenberg, The Online Books Page, and LibriVox all continue to identify Starr through that contribution.
Because reliable biographical details are scarce in the sources available here, not much can be confirmed about Starr's life beyond the published record. For listeners, that makes the fiction itself the main introduction: a voice from the magazine world of the early 1900s that has endured through archives and public-domain collections.
