Compiled by Gina Berriaults daughter and by her longtime companion, Leonard Gardner, this collection opens with five stories, including, The Figure Skater, the last story published before she died in 1999. Also here is the first section of the novel she left unfinished and her brilliant acceptance speech for the Commonwealth Club of Californias Gold Medal for Literature.As reclusive as she was meticulous, Gina Berriault did not suffer fools and sat for only a handful of interviews. She was acutely aware of nuance and tended to write and rewrite not only the answers but also the questions, making the interview printed here is as finished and beautiful as any of her writing.Here, too, are her essays for Rolling Stone, Hungry Mind, and Esquire on subjects as diverse as the first topless dancers in San Franciscos North Beach to the last execution by firing squad. As a whole this collection becomes her credo on American culture, politics and the written word.
