May Sarton signs a typed quote from an interview with Writer's Digest
1989
Typescript signed: "May Sarton", 1p. 8½x11. Typed quotation
from an interview in York, Maine with Writer's Digest, March 1989. In
part: "In America I think I'm pushed aside as that awful thing called a
sensitive feminine writer. The very ingredient......which is my case, I think".
May Sarton (1912-1995) was born in Belgium as Eleanor Marie Sarton
and was moved to Boston when she was three. A poet, novelist and memoirist, most
of her works reflect the lesbian experience. Her first book of poetry was
published in 1937, Encounter in April and she won the Levinson Prize
for her 1994 Coming Into Eighty. Her acclaimed 1961 novel, The
Small Room, analyzes women's education at its best but has a subtheme of
lesbian relationships. When she published Mrs. Stevens Hears the Mermaids
Singing (1965) she was quoted as saying "The fear of homosexuality is so
great that it took courage to write..." Sarton also wrote Nonfiction and
Children's books. Lightly creased at top edge. Fine condition.
