Margery Latimer (1899-1933) and Meridel Le Sueur (1900-1996) were close friends, both protÉgÉes of Zona Gale. Latimer married Jean Toomer in 1931 and died in 1933. The stories in this volume are from the two collections of stories published in her lifetime. Critic Louis Kampf describes the general effect of "Latimer's anatomy of small town life (as) always vivid, often funny, but invariably grim." She has been called a Midwestern Nathalie Sarraute and a feminist Sherwood Anderson. In a distinctly modern idiom she explores women's often repressed dreams and desires.Latimer, Margery is the author of 'Guardian Angel and Other Stories' with ISBN 9780935312133 and ISBN 0935312137.
