1996, 328 pages, SIGNED by Alison Lurie, Pulitzer-winning writer and professor. Whether writing about lovelorn academics or the ability of buildings to influence the way people see themselves in the world, Lurie's wide-ranging body of work was united by her keen intelligence, probing curiosity and savvy wit. In this comedy, a biographer out to vindicate a neglected female artist learns that the truth is never tidy. Polly Alter is through with men. Recovering from her divorce, she has taken a year off from her museum job to write a biography of Lorin Jones, a sensitive painter who died young and nearly forgotten. Polly is determined to bring the artist the public acclaim she deserves, making up for the neglect and exploitation Lorin suffered from the men in her life. The only problem with the story of Lorin's victimhood is that it may not be true. And as Polly wades deeper into her research, growing more attached to her subject, and more lost in the world of two decades past, she begins to realize that no life story is as simple as a biographer might wish. Gilt embossed, bound in fine black leather and gold block geometric Art Deco design, 22kt gold-stamped spine accents, distinctive raised spine hubs, specially milled acid-neutral paper, Smyth-sewn pages, gilded page edges. Permanent satin ribbon page-marker, SIGNED by Alison Lurie.
