"More than a collection of letters by Kay Boyle, this volume functions as a cultural history. . . . Boyle's talent as a letter writer and Spanier's skill as an editor guarantee that this volume with be of enduring value. Highly recommended."--Choice
"Boyle's letters, often relayed in breathless and passionate prose, make clear that for her, as Spanier argues, there were 'no boundary lines between the public and the private, the person and the political, between art and life.'"--Times Literary Supplement
