"'A Visit to Priapus' is not only a lost story--and one with a scandalous, sexy theme--but also a perfect example of the lost art of storytelling itself. Wescott's observations are so beautifully rendered you'll never forget them."--Matthew Rettenmund, author of "Boy Culture" These pieces are concerned with the timeless tide of humanity the characters lose something of themselves as they encounter the inexorable, shared experience of birth, reproduction, and mortality, yet the focus on their interior lives allows them to remain individuals. In thrall to the animal laws of sex and death, Wescott s work is also a meditative affirmation of our mystic, fragile sentience. Rain Taxi " "'A Visit to Priapus' is not only a lost story and one with a scandalous, sexy theme but also a perfect example of the lost art of storytelling itself. Wescott's observations are so beautifully rendered you'll never forget them." Matthew Rettenmund, author of Boy Culture" "'A Visit to Priapus' is a meditation on desire and art, a rueful, comic, brutally honest consideration of sex and its human limitations." From the foreword by Wendy Moffat, author of A Great Unrecorded History: A New Life of E. M. Forster"
Reseña del editor
Just as E. M. Forster's novel of gay love, Maurice, remained unpublished throughout his lifetime, Glenway Wescott's long story ""A Visit to Priapus"" was also destined to be a posthumous work, buried from 1938 until this century in Wescott's massive archive of manuscripts, journals, notebooks, and letters. The autobiographical story is about a literary man, frustrated in love, who puts aside his pride and makes a date with a young artist in Maine. Lavishly rendered in Wescott's elegant prose, the tale is explicit where it needs to be, but-as is typical of Wescott-it is filled with descriptive beauty and introspective lessons about sex and sexuality, love and creativity. Previously published in anthology form in the United Kingdom, ""A Visit to Priapus"" is presented for the first time in book form in America, containing previously uncollected stories, including three never before published. The result is a candid portrayal of the gifted but enigmatic writer who was famous in youth and remained a perceptive and compassionate voice throughout his long life. Drawn together from midcentury literary journals and magazines of the 1920s and 1930s, as well as from Wescott's papers, the stories were inspired by his life, from childhood to old age, from Wisconsin farm country to New York, London, Germany, and Paris.
