Synopsis: | It is the spring of 1963. The young Quebec author Marie-Claire Blais, bursting with energy and talent, has just won a coveted Guggenheim fellowship. She chooses Cambridge, Massachussetts, as the place where she will begin her writer's apprenticeship with her mentor, Edmund Wilson. American Notebooks is much more than a fascinating autobiographical account of the intellectual flowering of a great writer. An album of exquisitely drawn literary portraits of companions, intellectuals, writers, musicians, artists and social activists of the period; Edmund and Elena Wilson, Mary Meigs, Maud Maugan, Barbara Deming, Truman Capote, her first Quebec publisher, now Senator Jacques Hebert, and many others, it also introduces many of the real life personalities who have inspired her fictional characters | |||||
