4.0 out of 5 stars Turn of the Mid-Century, 9 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Locusts Have No King (Paperback)
Like Kurt Anderson's recent novel, this gem satirizes the New York media scene, but it takes place during the post-WWII years. The author's story holds up and does not feel dated, and her characterizations are dead on (especially good for laughs is the aptly-named airhead Dodo).

The late Dawn Powell deserves the praise reaped with the rediscovery of her novels. I am already considering which one I will read next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't listen to people from California, 7 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Locusts Have No King (Paperback)
This book is a really fun look, a slice of life in NYC and its publishing world in post-war America. I can't think of anybody who wouldn't thoroughly enjoy not only this story, this satire, but the writing as a whole. This, among other Dawn Powell books, is what I recommend to people looking for something to read that won't bore them to tears!
