Mary La Chapelle, is an American short story writer.Life
La Chapelle graduated from University of Minnesota, and from Vermont College with an MFA. She teaches at Sarah Lawrence College.

In House of Heroes: And Other Stories, she chooses rough-hewn subjects - a mime and a giant who struggle with nonconformity, a boy who finds a dead body. But Ms. La Chapelle's writing and insights are smooth and elegant, a respite for readers bored with minimalist fiction and self-indulgent heroes.
