"On n'est pas dans le futurisme, mais dans un drame bourgeois ou un thriller atmosphérique"
Mary MacLanes I Await the Devils Coming is a shocking, brave and intellectually challenging diary of a 19-year-old girl living in Butte, Montana in 1902. Written in potent, raw prose that propelled the author to celebrity upon publication, the book has become almost completely forgotten. In the early 20th century, MacLanes name was synonymous with sexuality; she is widely hailed as being one of the earliest American feminist authors, and critics at the time praised her work for its daringly open and confessional style. In its first month of publication, the book sold 100,000 copies -- a remarkable number for a debut author, and one that illustrates MacLanes broad appeal. Now, with a new foreward written by critic Jessa Crispin, I Await The Devils Coming stands poised to renew its reputation as one of Americas earliest and most powerful accounts of feminist thought and creativity.
