By the end of the 1930s, radical journalist and novelist Josephine Herbst (1892-1969) was widely hailed as one of the most important women writers in America. Yet she died in almost total obscurity. Today Herbst is enjoying a well-deserved renaissance as a new generation of readers is being introduced to her extraordinary life and writings. The Starched Blue Sky of Spain and Other Memoirs comprises four autobiographical works: "The Magicians and Their Apprentices", an intimate remembrance of Herbst's girlhood in turn-of-the-century Sioux City, Iowa; "A Year of Disgrace", a contemplative portrait of American literary culture in the 1920s; "Yesterday's Road", an explorative meditation on Herbst's life as a radical; and the title selection, a poignant and lucid evocation of the author's experience during the Spanish Civil War.
