HTML:<p><b>PEN/ Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography Longlist</b><br /> <b><i>O, The Oprah Magazine</i> “Best Books of Summer" selection</b><br /> “Magnetic nonfiction." —<b><i>O, The Oprah Magazine</i></b><br /> “Remarkable insight . . . [a] unique meditation/investigation. . . . Jerome Charyn the unpredictable, elusive, and enigmatic is a natural match for Emily Dickinson, the quintessence of these." —<b>Joyce Carol Oates</b>, author of <i>Wild Nights!</i> and <i>The Lost Landscape</i><br /> We think we know Emily Dickinson: the Belle of Amherst, virginal, reclusive, and possibly mad. But in <i>A Loaded Gun</i>, Jerome Charyn introduces us to a different Emily Dickinson: the fierce, brilliant, and sexually charged poet who wrote:<br /> <i>My Life had stood—a Loaded Gun—<br /> ...<br /> Though I than He— may longer live<br /> He longer must—than I—<br /> For I have but the power to kill,<br /> Without—the power to die—</i><br /> Through interviews with contemporary scholars, close readings of Dickinson's correspondence and handwritten manuscripts, and a suggestive, newly discovered photograph that is purported to show Dickinson with her lover, Charyn's literary sleuthing reveals the great poet in ways that have only been hinted at previously: as a woman who was deeply philosophical, intensely engaged with the world, attracted to members of both sexes, and able to write poetry that disturbs and delights us today.<br /> <b>Jerome Charyn</b> is the author of, most recently, <i>Bitter Bronx: Thirteen Stories</i>, <i>I Am Abraham: A Novel of Lincoln and the Civil War</i>, and <i>The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson: A Novel</i>. He lives in New York.</p>. Biography & Autobiography. Literary Criticism. Nonfiction. Media Type: eBook.
