Seller's Description:
Very good. Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some gentle toning to the pages and light edge-wear. Vanguard feminist publishing house Daughters, Inc. is best known for releasing the first edition of Rita Mae Brown's Rubyfruit Jungle in 1973, the same year it published this more obscure novel, an exploration of a fraught but darkly humorous mother-daughter relationship. Boyd, who was married to a man at the time and battling severe alcoholism, would eventually disavow the book, claiming that its writing process was an attempt to put the brakes on her emerging lesbianism (Years later, Brown told Boyd, 'You hit rock bottom and came up laughing'). When her urges didn't diminish after its publication, she left her husband, spent some time drying out, and reemerged in 1982 as a disheveled member of the Connecticut College writing faculty, wearing torn jeans, tinted glasses, and what the then head of the English department called 'the dirtiest shoes he had ever seen, ' before spending the next 40 years there engaging in an electrifying teaching practice. 169 pp.
