| Item Description: | "A restored, Cottager Press edition of the long out-of-print novel ... by Dorothy Day. The ... semi-autobiographical novel was first published in 1924 [New York, A. & Co. Boni] ... [The novel] paints a rich portrait of life in early 20th-century America. While living in New York, Day was entangled in a volatile romance with a man who quoted Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, idealized a free life, and eventually left her alone and pregnant. Day, who then went to a doctor's apartment for an illegal abortion, describes the physical and emotional sensations in a later passage of the book. These events- along with the fact that she considered the novel badly written and juvenile - led her to wish it had never been published"--Amazon.com. |
