New York Mosaic by Isabel Bolton
On their first publication, Isabel Bolton's novellas won high praise from such reviewers as Edmund Wilson and Diana Trilling (who in 1946 called her 'the most important new novelist in the English language to appear in years'). Highly poetic, evocative stories of city life, the characters in these novellas are mirrored by the complexities of New York itself. Out of print for many years, New York Mosaic, brings together the finest fiction from this unique and timeless writer.
To read Bolton's three novels in sequence is to relive the three major moments of the American half century * GORE VIDAL *
She has cut to roundness and smoothed to convexity a little crystal of literary form * EDMUND WILSON *
Rapturous.. a welcome revival * ANITA BROOKNER, SPECTATOR *
Exquisitely stylish * GUARDIAN *

Mary Britton Miller published her first novel DO I WAKE OR SLEEP in 1946 at the age of 63 under the pseudonym Isabel Bolton. On publication she was described by Diana Trilling as 'the best woman writer of fiction in this country'. She went on to shape several more small literary masterpieces before falling into an obscurity that lasted until her death in 1975.
