The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson by Jerome Charyn
There's nothing quite like a Charyn novel. . . . His sentences make a mournful and sensational clatter, like a bundle of butcher knives dropped on a cathedral floor. Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post
"Starred ReviewIn this brilliant and hilarious jailbreak of a novel, Charyn channels the genius poet and her great leaps of the imagination, liberating Dickinson from the prim and proper cameo image of a repressed lady in white, and revealing just how free she truly was." -- Booklist
"Smarter than most yet true to the form..." -- The New York Times Book Review
"[A] poignant, delicately rendered vision." -- Joyce Carol Oates
"The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson is astonishing. Charyn gives Emily Dickinson a new life, and one with a rush of energy and power. I shall never see her or her poetry in the same way again." -- Frederic Tuten, author of Adventures of Mao on the Long March
