Desire between two, (or even three!) can be found all over the world. But perhaps there are certain places on the globe that stimulate desire, and certainly leave their own particular imprint on the relationship. In this book we travel to Venice, Zurich, Paris, Barbados, and cities as exotic as Rio de Janeiro. In each the duel between lovers plays out in a way particular to each landscape-the Landscape of Desire.
Maggy Anthony was born in Southern California, raised in San Francisco, and now resides in Northern Nevada where she is continuing to write. Presently she is at work co-authoring a book about a large Irish family in Newfoundland with Johanna Reeves Grubb. She also has just finished the first book in a mystery series centered in 1950s Reno and Las Vegas, and is halfway through the second in the series.
During the Sixties she wrote for several counter-culture papers, and attended the C.G.Jung Institute in Zurich. This experience led to her writing of "Jung's Circle of Women" The Valkyries" about the many women Jung trained as analysts and who furthered his work in the field of depth psychology.
In the beginning of this century, 2001, she began writing plays and in 2002 wrote her third play, a one woman show entitled "Impossibly Blonde: Marilyn at 77" in which she played the part of an older Marilyn, speaking about her life with the audience. She put this into a book, with additional material, entitled "Impossibly Blonde: The Genesis of a Play in the Death and Funeral of Marilyn Monroe." The additional chapters deal with her personal experience of having been at Marilyn's home the day after her death, and her attendance, as Press, at the funeral. The book also contains photos by her then husband, Gene Anthony taken at Marilyn's house, then her funeral.
She has lived in Zurich, Paris, Rio de Janiero and the Cotswolds in England, and has taught classes all over the Western United States and New York, in mythology, dreams, the creative process and writing.
