Wikipedia description:
Breece Dexter John Pancake (June 29, 1952 – April 8, 1979) was an American short story writer, called "one of the greatest authors you've never heard of" in an article on his work in Study Breaks. Pancake was a native of West Virginia. Several of his short stories were published in The Atlantic Monthly and other periodicals during his lifetime. Pancake died from suicide in 1979 on Palm Sunday when he was 26. His motives are still unclear, but some speculate the death of his father from alcohol abuse and of a close friend from a gruesome car accident may have influenced his decision to end his own life.
