Shaw, Irwin

▪ American author
original name  Irwin Gilbert Shamforoff 
born Feb. 27, 1913, New York, N.Y., U.S.
died May 16, 1984, Davos, Switz.

      prolific American playwright, screenwriter, and author of critically acclaimed short stories and best-selling novels.

      Shaw studied at Brooklyn College (B.A., 1934) and at age 21 began his career by writing the scripts of the popular Andy Gump and Dick Tracy radio shows. He wrote his pacifist one-act play Bury the Dead for a 1935 contest; though it lost, the play appeared on Broadway the next year, the first of his 12 plays that were professionally produced. He wrote the first of his many screenplays, The Big Game, in 1936. Throughout the later 1930s popular magazines such as The New Yorker and Esquire published his short stories; they were praised for their plotting, their naturalness of narration, and especially their characterization.

      Shaw's experiences in the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II led to his writing The Young Lions (1948; filmed 1958), a novel about three young soldiers—one German and two Americans—in wartime; it became a best-seller, and thereafter Shaw devoted most of the rest of his career to writing novels. Among the best known of his 12 novels are Two Weeks in Another Town (1960), Evening in Byzantium (1973), and Beggarman, Thief (1977). Probably his most popular novel, though it was derided by critics, was Rich Man, Poor Man (1970), which was the source of the first television miniseries. Shaw's novels and stories were the basis of several movies, including Take One False Step (1949), Tip on a Dead Jockey (1958), and Three (1969).
