Octavo, black cloth & red boards (hardcover), gilt letters, xix, 326 pp. Very Good+, with light foxing (age darkened spotting) in a Fair, mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear that includes chipping. From dust jacket: She was a restless, enigmatic loner who could never settle down, yet whose brilliantly disciplined prose sang with the darkness and difficult truths of twentieth-century human experience. The early loss of her mother, literary vendettas in New York, political intrigues in revolutionary Mexico and with Herman Goring in Nazi Germany, three marriages, several affairs, and the horrible nightmare tragedy of Hart Crane were but a few of the episodes of her life. She turned her experiences into art and dreamed of glory -- something different from fame or success or wealth -- driven on by an intense urge to write. Katherine Anne Porter (!890 - 1980) was a controversial author whose stubborn regard for truth, the power of language, and her own singular talent launched a remarkable literary career that included, Pale Horse, Pale Rider, Ship of Fools, and The Collected Stories, winner of a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. This is a chronicle of many of the events, opinions, and passions of her life as recalled by her during weeks of taped conversations with E. H. Loez, who knew Porter well in her later years. Intimate, outspoken, unapologetic, it is an intriguing contribution to our understanding of her history, the remembered fortunes of a tough-minded writer who revealed to us so much about man in the modern world.
