Making literature

This article presents information on the book "Women in Their Beds," by Gina Berriault. Berriault's imagination and her prose are as carefully ambitious and elaborate as Henry James's, her meanings and rhythms as closely allied as author Cynthia Ozick's. She reminds of author Barry Hannah, not so much in the prose itself. Berriault makes a virtue of calm, while Hannah makes one of fever, but in the sense they both give of being somehow unable not to write, a sentence appears before them, and the world spills out of it.
