Yet for decades after her death Powell's work was out of print, cherished by a small band of admirers. Only recently has there been a rediscovery of the novelist who was such a vital presence in literary Greenwich Village from the 1920s to the 1960s, a writer whom Gore Vidal has called "our best comic novelist" & whom Edmund Wilson considered to be "on a level w/ Anthony Powell, Evelyn Waugh & Muriel Spark." LOA has again made available in an excellent 2-volume edition the best of Powell's quirky, often hilarious, sometimes deeply moving fiction. Dawn Powell (a vital part of literary Greenwich Village from the 1920s through the 1960s) was the tirelessly observant chronicler of two very different worlds: the small-town Ohio where she grew up & a sophisticated Manhattan to which she gravitated. If her Ohio novels are more melancholy & compassionate, her exuberant & incisive Manhattan novels sparkle w/ a cast of writers, show people, businessmen & hustling hangers-on. All show rich characterization & a flair for the gist of complex social situations. A playful satirist & unsentimental observer of failed hopes & misguided longings, Dawn Powell is a literary rediscovery of rare importance. The 2nd of two LOA volumes devoted to Powell, this opens w/ "My Home Is Far Away" (1944), a fictionalized memoir of Powell's difficult childhood. "The Locusts Have No King" (1948), The Wicked Pavilion (1954) & The Golden Spur (1962) are brilliant comedies that extend her dissection of the follies & longings of a sophisticated cast of characters. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Wittier than Dorothy Parker, dissects the rich better than F. Scott Fitzgerald, is more plaintive than Willa Cather in her evocation of the heartland & has a more supple control of satirical voice than Evelyn Waugh, the writer to whom she's most often compared." - Lisa Zeidner, NYT * ABOUT THE EDTIOR: Tim Page (editor of this volume) is the author of "Dawn Powell: A Biography" & editor of "The Diaries of Dawn Powell" & "The Selected Letters of Dawn Powell". He won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1997, & is a culture critic at the Washington Post. * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).

Yet for decades after her death Powell's work was out of print, cherished by a small band of admirers. Only recently has there been a rediscovery of the novelist who was such a vital presence in literary Greenwich Village from the 1920s to the 1960s, the writer whom Gore Vidal has called "our best comic novelist" & whom Edmund Wilson considered to be "on a level w/ Anthony Powell, Evelyn Waugh & Muriel Spark." LOA has again made available in an excellent 2-vol. edition the best of Powell's quirky, often hilarious, sometimes deeply moving fiction. Dawn Powell (a vital part of literary Greenwich Village from the 1920s through the 1960s) was the tirelessly observant chronicler of 2 very different worlds: small-town Ohio where she grew up & sophisticated Manhattan to which she gravitated. If her Ohio novels are more melancholy & compassionate, her exuberant & incisive Manhattan novels sparkle w/ a cast of writers, show people, businessmen & hustling hangers-on, all w/ rich characterization & flair for the gist of complex social situations. A playful satirist & unsentimental observer of failed hopes & misguided longings, Dawn Powell is a literary rediscovery of rare importance. The first of the two volumes published by LOA, this volume contains "Dance Night" (1930), Powell's own favorite among her works; "Come Back to Sorrento" (1932), originally published as "The Tenth Moon", a compelling study of frustrated aspirations; "Turn, Magic, Wheel" (1936), a whirlwind tour of Manhattan's literary life; "Angels on Toast" (1940), whose farcical pace recalls screwball comedy; and "A Time To Be Born" (1942), with its evocation of wartime mass media. * "Wittier than Dorothy Parker, dissects the rich better than F. Scott Fitzgerald, is more plaintive than Willa Cather in her evocation of the heartland & has a more supple control of satirical voice than Evelyn Waugh, the writer to whom she's most often compared." - Lisa Zeidner, NYT * Tim Page (editor of this volume) is the author of "Dawn Powell: A Biography" & editor of "The Diaries of Dawn Powell" & "The Selected Letters of Dawn Powell".
