BIOGRAPHY Born in East Orland, Maine , Clark grew up and went to college in Reno , where his father was president of the University Of Nevada . In 1933 Clark married and moved to Cazenovia, New York , where he taught high school English and began his fiction-writing career. ''The Ox-Bow Incident'', published in 1940, was well-received and gave Clark a level of literary acclaim that was unusual for a writer of Westerns . In 1943 it was adapted into a movie starring Henry Fonda . Clark published two more novels, ''The City of Trembling Leaves'' and '' The Track Of The Cat '', and a collection of his short stories over the next decade, which were also well-received. Although he continued to write prolifically after 1950, Clark published very little. He took several academic positions, including returning to Reno to serve as the writer-in-residence at the university from 1962 until his death in Reno, Nov. in 1971. BOOKS BY CLARK Novels
