Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Berge founded the literary magazine CENTER, and was part of the creative renaissance of the 1960s in New York City. The author's first novel is a loosely fictionalized account of a scandal that cost Berge teaching jobs and support from the publishing industry. "[Her characters] have s…o many dimensions that the author has to use a kaleidoscope to show them all, yet she does it brilliantly. Compellingly interesting." Publishers Weekly. "Berge invests her stories with insinuating pliancy of tone, writing in a way that almost makes it seem she's imitating her characters rather than creating them. She invites suspicion, encourages vertigo--dry, acerbic, they overwhelm with quotidian detail which gradually turns surreal.part industrial sculpture, part Oriental sheen." Village Voice.

Zustand: Very good. First Edition. First printing of this academic novel, only vaguely disguised as fiction - in the tradition of Randall Jarrell's NOTES FROM AN INSTITUTION. Published by Ishmael Reed's publishing company, SECRETS caused something of a literary scandal at the time. Bergé is unfortunately something of a forgotten… figure from the second generation the New York School. Indeed, she left the east coast and became an antique dealer in New Mexico (where she died in 2006) soon after the appearance of this book, and published very little after. But her mimeo CENTER remains an important journal. And this, one of her last works, is oddly uncommon. 8.5'' x 5.5'', Original printed wrappers. 234 pages. Light edgewear, minor stains and creasing to spine.
