Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1996 |
It's a beautiful essay. Catherwood has (so I have been told) made many people cry, but only once has a piece about the book given me tears.
Thank you, Emily Barton.
Read the essay here, in Post Road Magazine.
Seek Giacometti’s “The Palace at 4 a.m.” Go back two hours. See towers and curtain walls of matchsticks, marble, marbles, light, cloud at stasis. Walk in. The beggar queen is dreaming on her throne of words…You have arrived at the web home of Marly Youmans, maker of novels, poetry collections, and stories, as well as the occasional fantasy for younger readers.
