Familiar Spirits
Book (italiano):
Alison Lurie, one of America's greatest novelists, has written a loving memoir of world-famous poet James Merrill and his longtime partner David Jackson. Drawing on her forty-year friendship with Merrill and Jackson, Lurie reveals the couple's deep involvement with ghosts, gods, and spirits, with whom they communicated through a Ouija board. Among the results of their intense twenty-year preoccupation with the occult is the brilliant book-length poem "The Changing Light at Sandover", which Merrill called his "chronicles of love and loss." Recalling Merrill and Jackson's life together in New York, Athens, and Key West, <i>Familiar Spirits</i> is a poignant memoir infused with great affection and generous amounts of Lurie's signature wit. <br><br> "[A] remarkable and moving memoir." (<i>The Boston Globe</i>) <br><br> "Written with the poignancy of long affection." (<i>The Atlantic Monthly</i>) <br><br> "This memoir is Lurie's own Ouija board, through which she shares one final, intimate conversation with her much-missed familiar spirits." (<i>The Washington Post</i>)
