Book Review of Youth and the Bright Medusa

Youth and the Bright Medusa
reviewed on + 813 more book reviews


Each of the eight stories in this volume either center upon, or are tangential to, members of the arts. The first four, published in periodicals, are about a musician, an artist, and a singer. The last four, from The Troll Garden, concern an usher/dresser at Carnegie Hall, a concert going ex-musician, a sculptor, and a former singer. Despite the bent upon the arts, these could orient upon any slice of life. This compilation includes some of Cathers best work.
