But the heart of the book, \"The Princess with the Golden Hair,\" is a starkly realistic novella about New York City, its dance halls and speakeasies and slums. So sexually frank that for years Wilson's book was suppressed, this story is one of the great lost works of twentieth-century American literature: an astringent, comic, ultimately devastating exploration of lust and love, how they do and do not overlap.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Memoirs of Hecate County | Edmund Wilson | Paperback | 9781590170939 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1782449","offer_id":50532053319832,"sku":"1782449","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71XlD_X0sWL.jpg?v=1790345008","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/memoirs-of-hecate-county","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
