Short story writer and novelist Roark Bradford resided in New Orleans in 1930s-1940 where he was an editor for the New Orleans Times-Picayune and, during World War II, was at New Orleans' lakefront U.S. Naval Reserve Bureau of Aeronautics Training. In 1946 Bradford was a visiting lecturer at Tulane University's English department. Feibleman likely first encountered Bradford in 1943 when he was hired by Tulane as an acting assistant professor of English to teach naval officers.
