Ernest Starr
A little-known early 20th-century short-story writer, he is remembered today for "The Clearer Sight," a story that appeared in The Atlantic Monthly and later in the anthology Atlantic Narratives: Modern Short Stories. His surviving record is slim, which gives his work an appealing air of literary rediscovery.

About the author
Ernest Starr appears to have been a writer of short fiction whose best-known surviving work is "The Clearer Sight." That story was published in 1909 in The Atlantic Monthly and was later included in Atlantic Narratives: Modern Short Stories in 1918.
Reliable biographical details about his life are scarce, and the sources available here do not clearly establish basics such as his birth and death dates or a fuller personal history. What can be said with confidence is that his name remains connected to early 20th-century magazine fiction, and that his work has stayed accessible through public-domain and library archives.
For listeners who enjoy rediscovered authors, Starr offers a glimpse of the polished, idea-driven short fiction that circulated in literary magazines of his era.
