Mabel Dodge Luhan’s Intimate Memories offers the brilliantly edited memoirs of one woman’s rebellion against “the whole ghastly social structure” under which the United States had been buried since the Victorian era. Luhan fled the Gilded Age prison of the upper classes to lead a life of notoriety among Europe and America’s leading artists, writers, and social visionaries—among them D. H. Lawrence, Gertrude Stein, and John Reed. Intimate Memories details Luhan’s assemblage of a series of utopian domains aimed at curing the malaise of the modern age and shows Luhan not just as a visionary hostess but as a talented and important writer.

Mabel Dodge Luhan (1879-1962), the patron of the arts who put Taos, New Mexico, on the cultural map of the world, began to write her autobiography in 1924, a process that took over a decade and resulted in a four-volume opus published serially tinder the title Intimate Memories. Now almost forty years after her death Mabel has found an editor, and her remarkable autobiography is available in one readable volume for the first time. Abridged and introduced by Lois Rudnick, the author of two previous books on Luhan, Intimate Memories is the story of a woman in rebellion against "the whole ghastly social structure" under which she felt the United States had been buried since the Victorian era. Her struggle for self-expression and community took her from Buffalo to Florence to Manhattan to Taos, a journey during which she married four times, ultimately finding happiness with Antonio Luhan, a Taos Indian. Mabel was famous for assembling the movers and shakers of her time, among them such luminaries as D. H. Lawrence, Gertrude Stein, and John Reed, her Greenwich Village lover in bohemian pre -- World War I New York. Her autobiography is full of great moments: Reed swinging into her bed in her Florentine villa on a silken cord; Mabel, the impatient New Yorker, hiring a car for the last leg of her journey to New Mexico because the train seemed impossibly slow; her first encounter at Taos Pueblo with Tony Luhan, whose face she had seen in her dreams. Mabel was a great popularizer of the ideas of Sigmund Freud, and her insights into her own psychology will strike familiar chords with many readers. "That I was crossed in love -- 'unlucky in men' -- was due to my own selection, of course." shemuses, asking herself why she was drawn to "men too immature to satisfy me." From her childhood as a poor little rich girl lacking only for love to her realization on the last page of Intimate Memories that she could be happy with Tony because the Pueblo people were "not neurotic, " Mabel's story is as engrossing as any novel. By making it available at last to the wide audience it deserves, Lois Rudnick has shown that Mabel Dodge Luhan was not just a visionary hostess but a talented and important writer.

This second volume in 1935, of four, of Intimate Memories details events in Mabel Dodge Luhan's married life and then her experiences in France and Italy, and her many colorful and sometimes sad acquaintances until she finally, seemingly tired of Europe, returns to the United States remarking in the last page, however, that ..".it is ugly in America." In this book, in what applies to all four volumes in her memoirs, she arrests the reader with a frankness completely unique to Luhan. Revealing many personal accounts, in her foreword she says, "What a delicacy one needs to tell a story and at the same time not to tell it." And then she says, "I hope I may be forgiven when I fail." Surely she did not. As salon hostess, writer, and muse, she published her four volumes and 1,600 pages of "intimate memories" all during the 1930s. In vivid and compelling prose, she explored the momentous changes in sexuality, politics, art, and culture that moved Americans from the Victorian into the modern age. Noted for assembling and inspiring some of the leading creative men and women of her day-Gertrude Stein, John Reed, and D. H. Lawrence, among them-she was a "mover and shaker" of national and international renown during her lifetime. * * * * Born in 1879 to a wealthy Buffalo family, Mabel Dodge Luhan earned fame for her friendships with American and European artists, writers and intellectuals and for her influential salons held in her Italian villa and Greenwich Village apartments. In 1917, weary of society and wary of a world steeped in war, she set down roots in remote Taos, New Mexico, then publicized the tiny town's inspirational beauty to the world, drawing a steady stream of significant guests to her adobe estate, including artist Georgia O'Keeffe, poet Robinson Jeffers, and authors D.H. Lawrence and Willa Cather. Luhan could be difficult, complex and often cruel, yet she was also generous and supportive, establishing a solid reputation as a patron of the arts and as an author of widely read autobiographies. She died in Taos in 1962.

This first volume in 1933, of four, of "Intimate Memories" details incidents that impressed Mabel Dodge Luhan up until she was eighteen. Here she stresses her struggle during childhood and girlhood to become an individual. She says, "So the houses I have lived in have shown the natural growth of a personality struggling to become individual, growing through the degrees of crudity to a great sophistication and to simplicity." This struggle takes place before a Victorian background made up of Buffalo, Lenox, Newport, New York, and Europe where at Bayreuth she wrote that Siegfried Wagner "...walked aimless here and there, looking like a waxen sketch of his father, melting a little under the sun." The various members of the family and the friends are carefully presented from the impressions of the child, who studies each with interest. Her first recollections are of her own home and her parents. Even there she felt the vague discontent that gradually shaped itself into a determination to seek the heights and depths of experience. She records from the shifting scenes of playmates, schools, and gravel, incidents that concern the quaint fashions of the time-bustles, stiffly starched window curtains, sleigh rides, dancing classes, white picket fences-and from these incidents gradually evolves a picture of the town and country life of America during the closing era of the nineteenth century. As salon hostess, writer, and muse, she published her four volumes and 1,600 pages of "intimate memories" all during the 1930s. In vivid and compelling prose, she explored the momentous changes in sexuality, politics, art, and culture that moved Americans from the Victorian into the modern age. Noted for assembling and inspiring some of the leading creative men and women of her day-Gertrude Stein, John Reed, and D. H. Lawrence, among them-she was a "mover and shaker" of national and international renown during her lifetime.
