When he interviewed her a year before her death in 1996, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e chief art critic, Michael Kimmelman, called Blackwood a \"strangely dramatic woman: intense and vulnerable, with . . . a dark, razor-sharp sense of humor and an offbeat sensibility.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe same can be said of the mostly female, and often troubled, characters in the stories of this startling new collection. Selections span the entirety of her career, from her first book, \u003ci\u003eFor All That I Found There\u003c\/i\u003e, to \u003ci\u003eGood Night Sweet Ladies\u003c\/i\u003e, one of her last. The seven evocative nonfiction vignettes draw directly from Blackwood's fascinating life, from her early difficult years through her days as a quintessential bohemian. Three entirely unpublished stories are included in the collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caroline Blackwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Counterpoint LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781582437071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaroline Blackwood\u003c\/b\u003e was a London-born writer and journalist.
