ADRIENNE MESURAT
Julian Greentranslated by Henry Longan Stuart
revised by Marilyn Gaddis Rose
"[Green's] concentrated, mystical, detailed prose has been compared to both Proust and Poe .... Green
writes from invention and inner need, and so the world he gives us, be it as large as all of human consciousness, or as small as a sitting room with every object described,
has the stamp of originality."
"Written in the great classical prose of French narrative ficiton, Adrienne Mesurat ranks as one of the best novels of the 1920s."
—Lionel Abel
"The most fascinating thing about Adrienne Mesurat is that its author, a man, can imagine himself a woman. For this reason
the book remains avant-garde."
—Kate Millet
