The Crux

"[W]hile it is not a good novel--the pacing is crude, the writing inadequate, the didacticism an embarrassment--it is nonetheless a very interesting one, especially if you are a haunted reader of 'The Yellow Wallpaper'....It allows us to trace in its pages evidence, scattered throughout, of the talent that ran restless in its author throughout her stormy, stubborn, furiously engaged years....[H]ere in this small, long-fogotten narrative, we see the evidence of a wonderfully mixed talent for life and work that never became one thing wholly, or the other."Charlotte Perkins Gilman is the author of 'The Crux', published 2003 under ISBN 9780822331797 and ISBN 0822331799.
