May Sarton: Selected Letters, 1916-1954 (Vol 1)

Rating:
Summary: Takes away the sour taste left by Margot Peters's biography.
Review: Sarton was a master of the art of letter-writing. The notes are useful, the editing is superb, and Sarton shines through as a rare, passionate, and exacting friend and lover. My only complaint is that this volume is "selected," not "complete." I'm looking forward to Susan Sherman's next presentation of the gentle art to which Sarton stayed dedicated throughout her life.
