Tornata in America, Evelyn Scott diventa improvvisamente una stella nel firmamento letterario di New York: la sua carriera di scrittrice è vertiginosa. Quando pubblica le sue prime poesie, William Carlos Williams le scrive: "Lei è – oltre a H.D. – l'unica donna che possa far poesia oggi." E Sinclair Lewis, dopo aver letto il suo primo romanzo, The Narrow House: "Salutiamo Evelyn Scott. E una di noi; una che sa; un'artista autentica. Il suo libro è un avvenimento". In fuga, il diario del suo periodo brasiliano, s'impone nel 1923 come storia di uno scandalo e di una ribellione ai codici sociali. Ma Evelyn sembra avere anche il dono della divinazione critica: scrive il primo lungo saggio americano su Joyce, Un contemporaneo del futuro, e lancia William Faulkner, allora agli esordi, convincendo il proprio editore a pubblicare L'urlo e il furore. Quando però Faulkner riceve il Nobel nel 1949 Evelyn non pubblica più da tempo; morirà nel 1963, dimenticata, lasciando dietro di sé poche tracce e molti enigmi.
Ello Vittorini, nell'Americana, scopriva Evelyn Scott tra i "piccoli scrittori irrequieti" degli anni Venti – Robert McAlmon, Waldo Franck, Ben Hecht – e pubblicava alcune pagine di In fuga nella traduzione di Eugenio Montale. "Non le ho più dimenticate" scrive oggi Marisa Bulgheroni nel commento a questa prima edizione italiana. "Il libro brasiliano di Evelyn si colloca sullo scaffale di quei rari testi autobiografici (Walden di Thoreau, La mia Africa di Karen Blixen) che usano la prima persona singolare come un appostamento, un osservatorio tramite il quale rivelarci un mondo mai fino allora immaginato – si tratti di un lago tra i boschi, di un continente o dello spazio psichico... Affine ai protagonisti della generazione perduta, Evelyn Scott sopravvive a se stessa, distrutta non dal fuoco come Zelda, o dall'alcool come Fitzgerald, o da un colpo di fucile suicida come Hemingway, ma dalla ricerca di un'identità femminile radicale, multipla, impossibile, da un'ininterrotta battaglia contro il limite."
