WashingtonPost.com: The Diaries Of Dawn Powell 1931 To 1965
Excerpts from the author's personal diaries.
http://washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/diaries.htm

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":

Salon | How Dawn Powell Can Save Your Life
How dawn powell can save your life. May I suggest a massive inoculationof the works of the late, great American novelist dawn powell?
http://www.salon.com/books/feature/1999/09/30/powell/print.html

Extractions: By Gerald Howard "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? May I suggest a massive inoculation of the works of the late, great American novelist Dawn Powell? Although she published her last novel, "The Golden Spur," in 1962, at the tail end of the Beat era, and died in l965 as little known as she was through her entire career, I believe no other writer, living or dead, speaks more directly to our cheesy, gaudy, unsettling moment. As natural and skillful a satirist as American literature has ever produced, she is the equal, as Edmund Wilson averred (rather too late in the game to do her much good) of Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Powell as a fashioner of devastatingly funny social comedies.
Angels On Toast
Publisher's presentation of the novel by dawn powell.
http://www.steerforth.com/books/angels_on_toast.htm

Extractions: Dawn Powell VERYONE IN Angels on Toast is on the make: Lou Donovan, the entrepeneur who ricochets frantically between his well-connected current wife, his disreputable ex, and his dangerously greedy mistress; Trina Kameray, the exotic adventuress whose job title is as phony as her accent; T.V. Truesdale, the man with the aristocratic manner, the fourteen-dollar suit, and the hyperactive eye for the main chance. A dizzyingly fast-paced and deliriously entertaining novel. "For decades Dawn Powell was always just on the verge of ceasing to be a cult and becoming a major religion." - Gore Vidal
The Bride's House
Publisher's presentation of the novel by dawn powell.
http://www.steerforth.com/books/brides_house.htm

Extractions: Dawn Powell IRST PUBLISHED IN is the story of a woman who loves two men but who will find happiness with neither. The novel is set shortly before the turn of the century in rural Ohio. Even as a young girl Sophie Truelove was carrying on a struggle within herself between "the good" and "the bad," between the conventions of her time and place and her own restless and passionate nature. This romantic impulse seemed to be in her blood, shared with her aunt Lotta who had followed her heart, but at a cost. Sophie is determined to do otherwise and makes the conscious choice to embrace "the good" when she marries the kind and steady Lynn Hamilton. He builds her a bride’s house, but when the burning, if slippery, Jerome Gardner arrives in town and invades her life, Sophie’s best intentions are undone. Sophie is a complex and self-aware woman, and a strikingly contemporary figure to be found in a novel written nearly sixty years ago. In his introduction to

literary finds of the last quarter century. The site was developed for The Libraryof America to celebrate their publication of dawn powell's Complete Novels
http://www.pudg.org/work-dawnpowell.html

Extractions: DawnPowell.org explores the life and work of a writer The New York Times called "one of the outstanding literary finds of the last quarter century." The site was developed for The Library of America to celebrate their publication of Dawn Powell's Complete Novels: 1930-1962 (in two volumes). Visually rich and full of unique content, the site plays an important part in the "Great Revival" of Dawn Powell. That revival began in 1981 when, after her works had spent several decades in obscurity, Gore Vidal declared Powell a "comic writer as good as Evelyn Waugh and better than Clemens" in an essay in the Antioch Review . To this effect, the site allows online materials to compliment "offline" publications, offering a deeper and more expansive view of Dawn Powell than can be gained elsewhere.
