I’ve never heard of Diane Oliver, thank you for shining a light on her work! It’s so sad that she died before she had chance to share more stories. Thank you for sharing :)
I’m so glad you wrote this as I just recently picked up Neighbors! I heard about Diane Oliver’s tragic death and immediately wanted to own a copy of her work. I can’t help but wonder what amazing masterpieces she would have given the world had it not been for her accident.
Interesting. I didn't think I knew the name Diane Oliver until I read she “didn’t see how she could play the maid’s part for four years” and a bell rang... and then the fact that she died at 22. I will remember her name now - I must have read a review quite recently, and not recognising the name at the time, it didn't stick.

Just bought her book. Fascinating article.

Such an interesting piece. So well researched and informative.
So interesting. Thank you.
Thank you for this. Have placed the new edition of Neighbors and Other Stories by Diane Oliver on hold at my local library.
