New York, NY: Paragon House Publishers, 1988. 1st Stated Pbk Ed. Paperback. 8vo. 4 Pgs.. Nr Fine. Kay Boyle, Artist and Activist by Sandra Whipple Spanier. Published by Paragon House Publishers, New York, NY, 1988. 1st Stated Paperback Edition. Paperback. No DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine. 261 Pgs. ISBN 0913729973. LCCN 87-9023. This first critical assessment of Kay Boyle's long career is both a portrait of the artist and a perceptive appraisal of her work. Kay Boyle's writing initially appeared with that of the great experimenters of the 1920s, and through the rest of this century hers has remained a vital, origin voice. The author examines all of Boyle's work, tracing central themes and concerns that create a single coherent body out of greatly diversified writing that includes 14 novels, 10 collections of short stories, 5 volumes of poetry, 3 children's books, and 2 essay collections. Because her work always springs directly and immediately from personal experience, this book is necessarily a biography. Boyle herself has provided the author with letters, unpublished manuscripts, and pages of personal comment on this study. Illustrated with photographs.
