A SECRET HISTORY - BBC
A SECRET HISTORY Shirley Jackson often said that the idea for The Lottery, the short story that shocked much of America when it appeared in The New Yorker on June 26, 1948, came to her while she was out doing errands one sunny June morning. She thought of the plot on her way home, and she immediately placed her toddler daughter in the playpen, put away the groceries she had just bought, and sat down to type out the story on her signature yellow copy paper. It was off to her agent the next day, with virtually no corrections: I didn t want to fuss with it, she later said. As origin stories go, this one first told by Jackson and repeated countless times by others is just about perfect.
