About This Item
Urbana. 1987. University Of Illinois Press. 1st Edition. Some Foxing Along Top & Side Edges,Otherwise Very Good in Dustjacket. 0252014308. 133 pages. hardcover. . Inscribed by the Author. keywords: Literature America Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Vogan is a category of one. Combining realistic treatments of sex and violence with surrealistic narratives, she forms worlds of both fact and fiction, real and make believe. Recurring images (birds, music, imaginary lovers) and settings (from bathrooms to barrooms) are manipulated to fit her female characters' extraordinary lives. Her stones fascinate because of the texture and density of the world they establish, their paragraphs making un- leaps from sentence to sentence. The thought processes of Vogan's characters combine this weight of data - from both the natural world and the accumulation of personal history - to construct a narrative hole in the reader's mind. The Crane Wife' alone is worth the price of admission, and the title piece is like a film one wants to return to again and again. - Eve Merriam, author of Growing Up Female in America: Ten Lives. inventory #8751 ISBN: 0252014308.
