Three quarters of a century after the manuscript of Kay Boyle's first novel disappeared, a carbon copy of it was discovered by Sandra Spanier, the preeminent Boyle authority. Set off by Spanier's substantial introduction, Process is published here for the first time in paperback. A classic bildungsroman, Process tells the story of Kerith Day, who is in search of her own identity and place in the world. A keenly critical observer of the dreary industrial landscape and the beaten-down inhabitants of her native Cincinnati, Ohio, Kerith is determined to discover something better. She places her faith in art and politics and sets off for France, where workers and radicals are on the same side.
''Though Process was completed nearly 80 years ago, it could easily qualify as the most innovative and challenging work to come out this year...The poetic daring of the writing is one of the book 's most compelling qualities. A genuine literary find.'' John Martin, The Bloomsbury Review
