hardcover. Condition: new. First Edition. From one of our most perceptive and provocative voices comes a deeply researched account of the last days of Susan Sontag Sigmund Freud John Updike Dylan Thomas Maurice Sendak and James Salteran arresting and wholly original meditation on mortalityIn The Violet Hour Katie Roiphe takes an unexpected and liberating approach to the most unavoidable of subjects She investigates the last days of six great thinkers writers and artists as they come to terms with the reality of approaching death or what T S Eliot called the evening hour that strives Homeward and brings the sailor home from seaRoiphe draws on her own extraordinary research and access to the family friends and caretakers of her subjects Here is Susan Sontag the consummate public intellectual who finds her commitment to rational thinking tested during her third bout with cancer Roiphe takes us to the hospital room where after receiving the worst possible diagnosis seventysixyearold John Updike begins writing a poem She vividly recreates the fortnight of almost suicidal excess that culminated in Dylan Thomass fatal collapse at the Chelsea Hotel She gives us a bracing portrait of Sigmund Freud fleeing Nazioccupied Vienna only to continue in his London exile the compulsive cigar smoking that he knows will hasten his decline And she shows us how Maurice Sendaks beloved books for children are infused with his lifelong obsession with death if you know where to lookThe Violet Hour is a book filled with intimate and surprising revelations In the final acts of each of these creative geniuses are examples of courage passion selfdelusion pointless suffering and superb devotion There are also moments of sublime insight and understanding where the mind creates its own comfort As the author writes If its nearly impossible to capture the approach of death in words who would have the most hope of doing it By bringing these great writers final days to urgent unsentimental life Katie Roiphe helps us to look boldly in the face of death and be less afraidPraise for The Violet HourA beautiful book The intensity of these passagesthe depth of research the acute sensitivity for declarative momentsis deeply beguilingThe New York Times Book ReviewProfound poetic andyescomfortingPeopleUnconventional engaging The Violet Hour is at once scholarly literary juicyand unabashedly personalLos Angeles TimesEnveloping I read it in bed at the kitchen table while walking down the street What normal person wants to blunder into this hushed and sacred space she asks But the answer is all of us and Ms Roiphe does it with graceJennifer Senior The New York TimesA beautiful and provocative meditation on mortalityMinneapolis Star TribuneA tender yet penetrating look at the final days Roiphe has always seemed to me a writer to envy No matter what the occasion she can be counted on to marry ferocity and erudition in ways that nearly always make her interestingThe Wall Street JournalHere is a critic in supreme control of her gifts whose gift to us is the observant vigor that refuses to flinch before the Reaper She knows that true criticism does not bother with the mollification of delicate sensibilities only with the intellect as it roils and rollicks through languageWilliam Giraldi The New Republic.
