EDGE OF TAOS DESERT: An Escape To Reality: Vol. IV of Intimate Memoirs

by Mabel Dodge Luhan ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 16, 1937

Your market is fairly well conditioned by the sale of the previous volumes, though this -- dealing with the final phase is closer to present interest and therefore may be of somewhat wider appeal... Of the period she herself says that the first volumes were the records of an anthropologist, this volume of a human being. There is not much incident. She goes with her then current husband, Maurice Sterne, to Taos, and so identifies herself with the place that she buys a house. The central theme is the relationship with Tony, her Indian husband today, and the book ends with the imminent prospect of her marriage to him. Taos -- Indian life -- all presented with lack of reticence which characterizes all her work. Less of the gossip aspect, fewer big names to juggle -- simply Mabel.
