She followed up this initial success with two more acclaimed novels, The Mountain Lion (1944) and The Catherine Wheel (1952), and became a prolific writer of short stories for The New Yorker and other prominent magazines. Boston Adventure follows Sonia Marburg, the daughter of immigrant parents, as she seeks to escape her impoverished childhood by becoming the secretary-companion of the socially prominent Lucy Pride. The novel won praise for its perceptive satire of upper-class Boston society, while Stafford's portrayal of the inner life of her protagonist drew comparisons to Henry James and Marcel Proust. In The Mountain Lion Stafford drew on her childhood memories of southern California and Colorado to tell the story of Molly Fawcett, her brother Ralph, and their shared journey through the treacherous passage from childhood into adolescence. Set in a country house in Maine, The Catherine Wheel traces the tragic relationship between a lonely boy and his beloved aunt during a summer in which each of them secretly seeks revenge against the people who have betrayed them. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Stafford, Jean, $d 1915-1979. $t Boston adventure. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Stafford, Jean, $d 1915-1979. $t Mountain lion. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Stafford, Jean, $d 1915-1979. $t Catherine wheel. 700 1 $a Davis, Kathryn, $d 1946- $e editor. 830 0 $a Library of America ; $v 324. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022243.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20200421011145.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303021235.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200225011051.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB956DEE579C11EA884155F596128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
