Now In November by Josephine W Johnson

Now In November by Josephine W Johnson

Brilliant, evocative, poetic, savage, this Pulitzer Prize-winning first novel (1934) depicts a white, middle-class urban family that is turned into dirt-poor farmers by the Depression and the great drought of the thirties.

Like Ethan Frome, the relatively brief, intense story evokes the torment possible among people isolated and driven by strong feelings of love and hate that, unexpressed, lead inevitably to doom. Reviewers in the thirties praised the novel, calling its prose profoundly moving music, expressing incredulity that this mature style and this mature point of view are those of a young women in her twenties, comparing the book to the luminous work of Willa Cather, and, with prescience, suggesting that it has that rare quality of timelessness which is the mark of first-rate fiction.

Johnson, Josephine: - Josephine W. Johnson (1910-1990) was a novelist and nature writer who in 1935 became the youngest person to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her first novel, Now in November. She began her studies at Washington University and went on to write eleven books over the course of her life. When it was originally published in 1969, The Inland Island, her lyrical examination of a year on her rambling thirty-seven-acre farm in Ohio, became a beloved and critically acclaimed bestseller.
