After graduating from UCLA, she traveled in France, where she began a novel and, in 1930, married Howard Baker, a critic, professor, and editor. The couple moved back to California, and Baker completed an MA in French at UCLA, later teaching Latin at a private school. After having a few short stories published, Baker turned to writing full-time, despite, she would later claim, being \"seriously hampered by an abject admiration for Ernest Hemingway.\" In 1938, she published \u003ci\u003eYoung Man with a Horn\u003c\/i\u003e (also available from NYRB Classics), a novel about a white jazz musician, which earned critical praise and eventually was made into a movie starring Kirk Douglas. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1942 and, the next year, published \u003ci\u003eTrio\u003c\/i\u003e, a novel whose frank portrayal of a lesbian relationship proved too scandalous for the times. Baker and her husband adapted \u003ci\u003eTrio\u003c\/i\u003e as a play in 1944, but it was quickly shut down because of protests. Baker died in 1968 of cancer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Deborah Eisenberg is the author of four collections of short stories and a play.
