- Rear-cover description: "With her first book - written in 1901, at age nineteen - she was hailed as a marvel by the likes of H.L. Mencken, Edith Wharton, and Hamlin Garland. She went on to become a pioneering newswoman, gambler extraordinaire, bon vivant, and star of the silent screen. She influenced D.H. Lawrence, Hart Crane, and Gertrude Stein, and upon her death in 1929 was eulogized as 'an errant daughter of literature ... the first of the self-expressionists, and also the first of the flappers,' as the creator of 'that revolution in manners, that transvaluation of values in the female code of behavior' known as the Roaring Twenties. - Now, in an authoritative critical edition, the best of Mary MacLane returns to print. With the complete text of her striking first book (with all expurgated poassages restored), a selection of her colorful newspaper feature articles, a full-length 1902 interview with the enigmatic author, notes, and a detailed bibliography, Tender Darkness marks the return of a literary genius who took on the establishment - and won."
