But the heart of the book, \"The Princess with the Golden Hair,\" is a starkly realistic novella about New York City, its dance halls and speakeasies and slums. So sexually frank that for years Wilson's book was suppressed, this story is one of the great lost works of twentieth-century American literature: an astringent, comic, ultimately devastating exploration of lust and love, how they do and do not overlap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590170939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.08w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 126\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Edmund Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43059849822389,"sku":"9781590170939","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9475fd6c-4fe4-4778-a5f0-c12a938e13d4.jpg?v=1690299432","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/memoirs-of-hecate-county-9781590170939","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
