Jesse Bullington: IMG Abash'd the Devil Stood

0 comments By Jesse Bullington

I don't believe in evil. It's a word I use, certainly, because words are shortcuts and we all take the short way round from time to time, but that's... Continue »

The Players Come Again (Kate Fansler Novels) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Those who relish intricate mind games, complex characters, scalpel-sharp wit and literary allusions by the peck will clasp [this] to their hearts."
THE SAN DIEGO UNION
When Kate Fansler is offered the exciting prospect of writing a biography of Gabrielle Foxx, the obscure and enigmatic wife of a great modernist author, she accepts. But what she discovers when she meets three charming women connected with the Foxx family since childhood is a veil of secrecy that hides a fantastic pattern of events, a shocking secret that fifty years have done nothing to defuse, and a strange truth that she can never reveal....

Review:

"In the spirit of feminine 'empowerment' and the rise of women's studies, Amanda Cross has more than ever blurred the line between fiction and her real-life duties in the Columbia University English department. This is an intriguing 'nonmystery' mystery, in which English prof Kate Fansler is enticed into writing the biography of the wife of one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, only to be faced with one puzzle after another. More is made of the difficulties of biography than in actual sleuthing, but afficionados of Cross' drawing-room style will consider this an offbeat but delightful triumph."
