This is Volume Two of the Lush Novel by M. Young
Just want to let buyers know that ISBN 015660793x, Harvest/HBJ, is Volume Two of Marguerite Young's Miss MacIntosh, My Darling, the culmination of the work.Anais Nin"This is a search for reality through a maze of illusions and fantasy and dreams, ultimately asserting in the words of Calderon: 'Life is a dream.'"Kurt Vonnegut"Marguerite Young is unquestionably a genius."William Goyen, New York Times Book Review, 9/12/65"A work of stunning magnitude and beauty. . . . The book's mysterious readability is effected through enchantment and hypnosis. Its force is cumulative; its method is amassment, as in the great styles of Joyce or Hermann Broch or Melville or Faulkner. . . . One of the most arresting literary achievements in our last 20 years. . . . It is a masterwork."Lillian Smith, Chicago Tribune"An extraordinary book by a woman possessed of a breathtaking verbal virtuosity. She also has quality of heart. . . . There are times when her pages surge and beat on the heart and imagination like great music; other times when it shimmers motionless like an ancient Hindu painting."Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World, 3/21/93"The prose is lyric, striking and memorable."L.A. Reader, 2/93This encyclopedic novel addresses the question of illusion, as Young--whose epic vision and exquisite prose are truly awesome--dissects the essence of reality and ruminates on where it can be found."Belles Lettres, Winter 1993"[A]n ambitious work of gorgeous fiction, written in waves of lush, imagistic, even humorous language. . . . This is a work of genius."About the AuthorA descendent of Brigham Young, Marguerite Young was born in Indiana in 1909 and moved to New York City in the 1940s. A respected literary figure and Greenwich Village eccentric, Young associated with writers from Richard Wright to Dylan Thomas to Truman Capote, Carson McCullers, Thornton Wilder and Gertrude Stein. Besides her legendary and lengthy novel Miss Macintosh, My Darling (originally published in 1965), Young published two works of poetry, Prismatic Ground (1937) and Moderate Fable (1944); a work of nonfiction, Angel in the Forest (1945); and a collection of stories, essays and reviews, Inviting the Muses (1944), before her death in 1995. Her monumental biography of Eugene Debs, on which she worked for 30years, was published posthumously.
