Kiss Me Again: An Invitation to a Group of Noble Dames

Kiss Me Again: An Invitation to a Group of Noble Dames An older man lovingly recollects his youthful encounters with the women who cast long shadows on his emotional and intellectual life. Eight short essays and two dramatic monologues (one originally performed by Julie Harris!) collect one sensitive man's experiences of a group of very particular women. Some of the women, like Alice B. Toklas, Marguerite Young, and Vassar Miller, are familiar literary figures. Others, unknown or less known, include a childhood friend and a favorite teacher. Witty, intimate, and reflective, these are perfectly crafted portraits of loving eccentricity. Photographs of the remembered women introduce each essay, enhancing not only the charm of Kiss Me Again but also the charms of each individual woman.
