I looked up Dolores Hitchens and was immediately side-tracked by her extraordinary name...
The Library of America, which published the editions I just finished reading, quotes her introducing herself to her editor at Doubleday in 1952: "The full name, and I'm not making this up as I go along, is Julia Clara Catherine Maria Dolores Robins Norton Birk Olsen Hitchens. The first five names have been whittled down to one—the only one I like. The five last names are accounted for by a series of step-fathers and two husbands."
