Description:
"A sublime story woven out of joy, beauty, strength, and shimmer, like a painting by Renoir. Paintings are in this story, and so are New York and Philadelphia, and so are Virginia Woolf and Woodrow Wilson; and the Brahman philosopher of education, and Anzia Yezierska, an immigrant daughter of the Lower East Side; imagine these two embracing for love, for learning (as they really did) strands of Whitman's America entangled in scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream! Norma Rosen is an artist of the educated heart; and of language, light hope, wonder, and honest becoming". -- Cynthia Ozick
Expand description
Norma Rosen's tale of the year-long love affair between the poor, ambitious writer Anzia Yezierska and the brilliant "commonsense philosopher" John Dewey is based on a true story.
