The years of the mid-1940s find her in New York, in a Greenwich Village studio surrounded by young artists. She battles with the Establishment and for a time becomes polarized between involvement with the young -- among them Gore Vidal -- and with the established order, represented by Edmund Wilson. We also follow her discovery of America, in the summer of 1947, when she makes her way in an old Ford to the West Coast and, eventually, to Mexico. The themes are self-discovery, the individual in a hostile environment, and the openness of youth versus the calcifications of "maturity". As the Los Angeles Times has said, the "Journals" afford "one of the most candid records drawn by a writer of the 20th century. That this writer is a woman makes it even more relevant"' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A first impression of the first British Commonwealth edition, published in 1972, in its original dustwrapper in very good condition. Uncommon especially in this condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Jacket design by Keith Cunningham (illustrator).
