Review
I consider her the most important writer of prose fiction in modern American letters. Her work, her life: deep truth, observed without pretension, with humor and humanity. An artist and person, an angel. --Tennessee Williams
I have long been an admirer of Jane Bowles's work. Now I am struck again by the subtlety, sharpness, and surprise of her observation, the cool economy of her style, in fact by the rare originality and considerable depth of her writing. --Sybille Bedford
Product Description
For John Ashbery, Jane Bowles was "one of the finest modern writers of fiction, in any language." Her body of work is small: a novel, a play, and six short stories. And now we have her letters - 133 of them - which, like everything she wrote, are exercises in literary precision. As her editor Millicent Dillon writes, "they are exercises in emotional accuracy as well," little essays in which Bowles explained her joys, doubts, and obesssions to herself and to her correspondents, including her husband, Paul Bowles.
Includes 14 pages of black-&-white photographs.
