Robert Oppenheimer turns up at Les Deux Magots; and the gentle and enigmatic surrealist Max Ernst, Ms. Tanning's husband, is the presiding spirit. This is a sustained success of recuperative magic.\" -- Anthony Hecht \"It seems hardly fair that Dorothea Tanning, in a long, passionately inventive career as a painter, should have acquired as well the other harmony of prose, and that her passionate inventions as a writer should be so lovingly, so wisely resolved. Indeed it is not fair at all: the Muse was never an equal-opportunity employer, and the only appropriate response to Between Lives is untempered gratitude. How grateful I am for the Muse's caprice, twice over, for Dorothea Tanning is a dauntless writer who is entitled to love her life; she created it, and now, quite unfairly, I love it, too.\" -- Richard Howard","brand":"WW Norton \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49401995624791,"sku":"9780393343984","price":21.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/between-lives-9780393343984","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
