As a young person I often saw the small, eccentric old woman - TopicsExpress



          

As a young person I often saw the small, eccentric old woman walking on 6th Avenue. Then one day, I was with the great writer Edward Swift (author of the gay classic Splendora) and we passed her. Miss Young, he said and stopped to speak to her with great respect and appreciation. That was Marguerite Young, he said. Ed had studied writing with her at The New School, if I remember correctly. Author of Miss MacIntosh, My Darling -which many people feel is one of the great American experimental novels. She also wrote a very long biography of Eugene Debs. Just thinking about the lineage of writers, many who changed lives but are now forgotten. waynemcevilly.blogspot/2013/10/marguerite-young-princess-of-perpetual.html
