Críticas
""Under Magnolia" is one of the most brilliant memoirs ever written, shedding new light on a certain mysterious South and offering a memorable portrait of the artist as a young girl. Frances Mayes, a petite, brainy beauty from what we used to call politely "a troubled home" has written an unnervingly honest and refreshingly open account of how a child can be neglected even amid great privilege and a large family... Reader, artist, scholar, poet--Frances Mayes gradually became the aesthete and writer she is today, a passionate lover of the world and the word." -Lee Smith, author of "Guests on Earth"
"No one could have invented a more combustible, joy-starved pair of glam and oblivious parents or a more incandescent child to dive into the blue ruins, explore the sealed off passages, blacked-out dreams and neglected outlets by the beams of her own incredulous eyes; then break the surface a smart-mouthed, truth-seeing sensualist, fully in attendance to the vibratory moment. The deft framing, the exacting word picks, apposite references, high speed wit, singled out synecdoches of a life; the cadence, phrasing, and pulse of a muted Georgian accent are all signature to the prose and poetry, stove-tops and passport stamps of Frances Mayes. In her memoir "Under Magnolia" they are second skin. When she comes clean, you feel, can I say it, cleansed. Freer. Floatable. What an offering." - C.D. Wright, poet

"No other writer today breathes life into place like Frances Mayes. In "Under Magnolia", she turns her prolific gift of language and description to the South and her childhood there. This memoir recalls bygone days filled with neighborhood characters, sultry weather, Sears Roebuck catalogues, smothered quail--all the trappings of a Southern childhood. "Under Magnolia" is a love song, a rich and beautiful book." - Ann Hood, author of "The Knitting Circle" and "Comfort: A Journey Through Grief"
