Overview
Ā
The mansion is called Illyria, but for the writers and artists who flock there each summer, itās a Garden of Eden where every artistic curiosity is explored. Away from family, friends, and ordinary responsibilities, the creative spirit can flower, nurtured by the company of other artistic souls. Janet Belle Smithās husband doesnāt understand why she canāt write at homeāor really, for that matter, why she must write at allābut for Janet, the reason is clear: Only in Illyria can she be herself.
Ā
But as the writer mingles with her fellow artistsāincluding a Marxist novelist, a Beat poet, and a wild-man sculptorāshe begins to fear that the ārealā her isnāt who she expected, and Illyria is not the peaceful kingdom it appears to be. This creative paradise is rotting from the inside out, and if Janet doesnāt move quickly, sheāll be trapped in the rubble when the walls come tumbling down.
Ā
From the National Book Awardāshortlisted author of Foreign Affairs, this humorous story āgoes down pleasantly, like a glass of lemonadeā (The New York Times).
