Theodora Keogh, the granddaughter of Theodore Roosevelt,
wrote nine novels between 1950 and 1962. A complicated and
captivating prose stylist, her work has been compared with that of
Patricia Highsmith for its psychological depth and complex, often
morally conflicted characters. Appearing as they did midway in her
brief career, these two novels provide a wonderful introduction to
this overlooked author.
Lidia Yuknavitch is the author of Dora: A Headcase, and The
Chronology of Water, as well as three works of short fiction. Her
work has appeared in The Iowa Review, Exquisite Corpse, Fiction
International, ZYZZYVA, and elsewhere. She received the 2011
Pacific Northwest Booksellers' Award. She lives in Portland.
""[Keogh] writes with a skill and command of her material that should set her promptly into the ranks of the finer young writers of today."" --Patricia Highsmith Saturday Review, 1950
