The Truth about Prison

And when you read these stories together, you notice threads and themes that not only tell sto...

In the essays collected here, she covers civil rights demonstrations in the 1960s, describes places where she lived and locations she visited, and writes about the foundations of American literature—Melville, James, Wharton—and the changes in American fiction. She contemplates writers’ lives—women w...
