   Extractions: Dance Night (1930), Powell's own favorite among her works; Come Back to Sorrento (1932), orginally published as The Tenth Moon , a compelling study of frustrated aspirations; Turn, Magic, Wheel (1936), a whirlwind tour of Manhattan's literary life; Angels on Toast (1940), whose farcical pace recalls screwball comedy; and A Time To Be Born (1942), with its evocation of wartime mass media. Tim Page, the volumes' editor, is the author of Dawn Powell: A Biography and the editor of The Diaries of Dawn Powell and Selected Letters of Dawn Powell . He won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1997, and is a culture critic at the Washington Post "Wittier than Dorothy Parker, dissects the rich better than F. Scott Fitzgerald, is more plaintive than Willa Cather in her evocation of the heartland and has a more supple control of satirical voice than Evelyn Waugh, the writer to whom she's most often compared."

   Extractions: Send this review to a friend REVIEW BY ROGER MILLER Like Mark Twain, I have a whole library of books not by Jane Austen. Though my knuckleheadedness in not being able to appreciate Ms. Austen is as incurable as it is inexcusable, I can appreciate the fanatical devotion of her admirers, because I feel almost the same way about Dawn Powell. Just as the Janeites cannot understand why everyone doesn't fall under the spell of their adored one, so do I find it unfathomable that a Dawn Powell novel is not in the hands of every literate person in the country. Alas, the truth is that the coterie of Dawnites remains fairly small, despite periodic attempts to boost her. The latest noble effort is by the Library of America, which has brought out a two-volume collection of her novels under the supervision of Tim Page, Powell's biographer and editor of her collected letters. The two new volumes are

    Extractions: By Gerald Howard Sept. 28, 1999 "The human comedy is always tragic, but since its ingredients are always the same dupe, fox, straight, like burlesque skits the repetition through the ages is comedy. The basis of tragedy is man's helplessness against disease, war and death; the basis of comedy is man's helplessness against vanity (the vanity of love, greed, lust, power)." from "The Diaries of Dawn Powell" T he NASDAQ may be slipping, but not the boom market in vanity. As I am sure you have noticed, there is a carnival of unbridled self-regard, self-interest and self-promotion out there. Financial gurus, with a straight face, prescribe techniques to couple monetary increase with spiritual perfection. Love and lust align themselves with social and pecuniary advantage in uncanny fashion. No work of art or entertainment or its maker is allowed to face the public without exquisitely devised campaigns of hype, buzz and spin. If you are neither rich nor famous, our whole culture implies, chances are you are a chump. (Not invited to the Talk party, were you?) How, amid this dispiriting spectacle, is a thinking, feeling human being supposed to avoid the counsels of despair and the lure of cheap cynicism?

James Wilcox, Elle Magazine HEN DAWN POWELL'S unpublished Diaries first appeared three years ago, the book was proclaimed on the front cover of the New York Times Book Review as "one of the outstanding literary finds of the last quarter-century . . . a book in a thousand." More praise followed from nearly every quarter, including Gore Vidal in The New York Review of Books , Daniel Aaron in The New Republic , and Bill Buford in The New Yorker ("reads like a mini-book of mini-stories – one compact, perfectly formed arrative followed by another").

    Extractions: INCLUDING THE NOVELS DANCE NIGHT AND TURN, MAGIC WHEEL AND SELECTED STORIES. AWN POWELL AT HER BEST brings this important American writer back between hardcovers for the first time in thirty years. Powell, whose work Edmund Wilson once compared to that of Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark, was shamelessly neglected until Gore Vidal "rediscovered" her in the pages of The New York Review of Books in 1987. This book includes the two novels Dawn Powell considered her finest, Dance Night (1930) and Turn, Magic Wheel (1936), both of which have been out of print for half a century. Dance Night , a blunt and sometimes brutal tale of a gritty midwestern factory town and the lost, lonely people who inhabit it, is the first of Powell’s six "Ohio novels" to be reissued. It is also the most austere of her novels and prefigures much of the "proletarian fiction" of the 1930s. Turn, Magic Wheel

    Extractions: Dawn Powell lived to write. In her case, this statement is not an empty phrase, nor is it an exaggeration. Powell was writing steadily by the time she was twelve; in the last year of her life, when she was mortally ill, her concerns were not so much with her failing health and ever-dwindling weight as with her inability to make headway on any of her writing projects. Considering the difficulties Powell faced throughout most of her sixty-eight yearsan unconventional and sometimes deeply unhappy marital life, near-constant money troubles, the demands of a mentally and emotionally impaired son, heavy drinking that was debilitating at times, recurrent (and often mysterious) health problems, and what might now be described as a"bipolar"personalityit is astonishing that she wrote so prolifically and wrote so well. Besides her fifteen published novels, Powell left at least 100 short stories, half-a-dozen plays, an enormous quantity of book reviews and occasional pieces, thousands of personal letters, and her magnificent diaries. Exactly when Powell began keeping a diary is unknown. She ran away from home around the age of twelve, because her stepmother had burned her notebooks and stories; that notorious bonfire may well have included some early diaries. A volume filled with observations, drawings, and poems, dating from after her runaway (circa 1910) survived into the late 1960s but has now apparently disappeared. During the summer of 1915, while working as a maid and waitress at a summer resort called the Shore Club on Lake Erie, Powell kept an occasional journal in a school notebook, addressed to an imaginary friend named"Woggs":

20. CNN - New York Finally Turns Out For Dawn Powell - January 28, 2000
    http://www.cnn.com/2000/books/news/01/28/dawn.powell.salon/index.html
    
    Extractions: Web posted at: 2:47 p.m. EST (1947 GMT) (SALON) "I hate slightly familiar people," read novelist Kate Christensen to a group of about 100 New Yorkers who braved a snowstorm Tuesday night to attend a tribute to the late Dawn Powell. The quip, which comes from Powell's diary entry for April 6, 1931, made the whole audience laugh it was the kind of dead-on Powell line that rings true for anyone who's done time on the literary party circuit. Dawn Powell and New York seldom has the match between a city and a writer been so felicitous. The wise, wickedly funny Ohio-born author loved New York better than any place else, but her writings went virtually unnoticed during her lifetime, and when she died in 1965 she was pretty much forgotten. At Tuesday's tribute (hosted by Housing Works Used Book Café), six authors, all Powell devotees, read selections from her work and it was clear that, finally, New York adored her right back.
