ⓘ About Paul Gallico
During the late 1930s, author Gallico decided to abandon sports writing in order to try his hand at writing fiction. The first story he wrote was in the form of an essay and was called Farewell to Sport. It was based on his change of career path. In the next few years, Gallico had become a popular short story writer for magazines. A number of his stories appeared in a premier fiction outlet of that time, Saturday Evening Post. Gallico’s novella, The Snow Goose, and several of his other works are extended versions of the magazine stories that he used to write during the initial days of his writing career. Author Gallico had once made a confession to the New York Magazine that he was a rotten novelist and was not literary at all.
