Body politics and the fictional double
Reading Challenge Week 5: Set in the 1920s
I was very eager to start this as I'm just absolutely loving Charlotte Gordon's incredible dual biography of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley (Romantic Outlaws: The Extraordinary Lives of Mary Wollstonecraft and Her Daughter Mary Shelley).
Here is another book about extraordinary women: Dorothy Parker, Zelda Fitzgerald, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Edna Ferber. I'm sad to report it just doesn't even compare with Gordon's thorough and riveting work. Rather, it feels more like a dull, random, somewhat gossipy recitation of events in the lives of these women. The connection between the four women feels tenuous to me. Yes, they're all famous Jazz Age female writers, but so what? She never really sold their stories as a larger tapestry with common meaning. As such the transitions between narratives was always a bit jarring.
