"Margery Latimer knows and understands human beings, particularly those who have been treated none too gently in the course of their lives. . . . The heaviness and world-weariness of her stories are balanced by the excellent craftsmanship which is the outstanding feature of her work" (The New York Times).

When Margery Latimer died in childbirth in 1932 at the age of thirty-three, she left behind a small body of published and unpublished fiction. Ironic, distancing, and somewhat surreal, Latimer explores sexuality and the unconscious in a midwestern setting.

"Margery Latimer belongs to the tradition . . . of Katherine Mansfield and D.H. Lawrence. The genius in all three cases is unmistakable—but is intensely personalized, and in her case, cut short by death. Less exquisite, less frail, less delicately formed than Katherine Mansfield's prose is hers, but the emotion behind the words cuts deeper."
Horace Gregory
