Recenzje

The work of a woman who has invested her life in her art, and who will, I think be remembered as one of the significant writers of her generation. Saul Bellow

O autorze

Howland, Bette Bette Howland (1937-2017) was the author of three books: W-3, Blue in Chicago, and Things to Come and Go. She received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1984, after which though she continued writing she would not publish another book. Near the end of her life, her stories found new readers when a portfolio of her work appeared in a special issue of A Public Space magazine exploring a generation of women writers, their lifetimes of work, and questions of anonymity and public attention in art.
