Early life
Alice Glaser was raised on Long Island, the daughter of Hilda Glaser and Lewis Glaser.[1] She attended Woodmere High School, graduating in 1946. She completed her undergraduate studies at Radcliffe College in 1950, with a senior thesis on Joseph Conrad.[2]
Career
From 1958, Glaser worked at Esquire magazine,[3] eventually as associate editor under Harold Hayes.[4] In that position, she was regularly in contact with prominent authors and potential authors, such as Martin Luther King Jr.[5] and Diane Arbus.[6] She also wrote articles for the magazine. One of her contributions in 1963, "Back on the Open Road for Boys", described the week she spent in India with Allen Ginsberg.[7] Other articles by Glaser included an interview with "the last of the Seneca chiefs" in 1964,[8] and "Hair!" (1965), an exploration of teen girls' beauty culture.[9]
She also wrote book reviews for the Chicago Tribune.[10] In 1961, her dystopian story "The Tunnel Ahead" was published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.[11] The story has been much-anthologized, and was adapted into the award-winning short film The Tunnel (Tunnelen, 2016) by André Øvredal.[2]
Personal life
Glaser died in 1970 after a fall, possibly a suicide, at age 41, in New York.[7][1]
