The summer of 1971 Wild becomes even wilder in the second of the Angel series, An Old Chaos of the Sun. Angel works all summer in the paper mill before returning for his senior year of college. Angel's ex, Maggie, deals with the loss of Angel and her transfer to Dartmouth. Wanda the Fair lurks in the wings. Lots of literature combined, as always, with sex, drugs, rock and roll. An uncompromisingly romantic and erotic comedy. The setting is the advent of Women's Liberation, and Angel shows a remarkable understanding of the female psyche in its nascent transition to the new woman. At home equally in Palatka, Florida or on the Dartmouth campus, Angel finds love (and pleasure) in nearly every second of his life. You will, too.

A darkly witty classic about literary worth, ambition, and romantic idealism set in turn-of-the-century England, with an introduction from Hilary Mantel (Wolf Hall) "A delicious satire on the career of schoolgirl sensation Angelica Deverell. She's a truly magnificent comic creation: petulant, paranoid and frighteningly prolific." (The Guardian) Angelica Deverell lives above her diligent, drab mother's grocery shop in a dreary turn-of-the-century English neighborhood, but spends her days dreaming of handsome Paradise House, where her aunt is enthroned as a maid. But in Angel's imagination, she is the mistress of the house, a realm of lavish opulence, of evening gowns and peacocks. Then she begins to write popular novels, and this fantasy becomes her life. And now that she has tasted success, Angel has no intention of letting anyone stand in her way--except, perhaps, herself. Now back in print after 20 years, this under-recognized classic is (unlike Angel's own novels) self-aware, funny, and subtly layered. It both sharply satirizes its protagonist and acknowledges the intensity of her imagination and the rigor of her work, all the while seeing her as fully human, complicated, and even sympathetic.
