Product DescriptionIn A Summer to Be, Isabel Garland Lord writes an honest and revealing memoir of growing up in the shadow of her famous father, the pioneering realist and Pulitzer Prizewinning author Hamlin Garland. Lord unveils a hitherto unknown side of her fatherthe intensely loving, domineering patriarch whose deep love for his eldest daughter led him to change the trajectory of his career even as that love impeded his daughters own independence. Written in the 1960s, A Summer to Be movingly weaves the story of Lords own coming of age that is also a snapshot of American literary culture during the first decades of the twentieth century. Part memoir and part autobiography, A Summer to Be records a daughters gradual emergence from her devoted and possessive father; it is a story full of moments of revelation and intrigue, betrayal and guilt, and ultimately the joy of selfdiscovery.ReviewA Summer to Be is an intimate glimpse at Garlands life during the twentieth century when the radical realist became a conservative arbiter of literary standards and when the roving bachelor became a loving father and a controlling patriarch. . . . In editing this work, Keith Newlin has performed a great literary service, his introduction and notes providing the context that unifies the work.Roark Mulligan, Studies in American Naturalism Published On: 20090929'Keith Newlin's superb introduction and notes contextualize the memoir and make it a valuable addition to Garland scholarship.'Marcia Noe, Annals of IowaAbout the AuthorIsabel Garland Lord (190488) had a stage and lecturecircuit career and produced a halfdozen books, several stage plays, and a musical.
