Book Description

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Owl Books, 1998. First Trade Paperback Edition. Soft Cover. New/No Jacket. Photographs. Vanity Fair said about this book "The tumultuous life of Dawn Powell, the vastly undervalued comic literary novelist who could arm-wrestle Dorothy Parker to a draw, is fabulously rendered in Tim Page's entertaining book." The author explores the fascinating ironies and sad complexities of Powell's life and work. Powell lived in New York City for forty-seven years but always maintained the perspective of a "permanent visitor." She distilled this into her many poems, stories, articles, plays, and her dizzying and inventive novels. Gore Vidal once referred to her as our best comic novelist, deserving to be as widely read as Hemingway and Fitzgerald. Page's biography is a celebration of her triumphant rise from the ashes of near oblivion to her stablishment among the giants of twentieth-century American literature. 362 pages including notes, bibliography, acknowledgments, and an index. 16 pages of photographs are present. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
