An influential New York salon host and perpetual seeker of meaning,
Mabel Dodge entered psychoanalysis in 1916 with A.A. Brill, the
first American psychoanalyst, continuing until she moved to New
Mexico in December 1917. In Taos, she met Antonio Luhan, the Pueblo
Indian who became her fourth husband in 1923, a radical union that
forever altered her turbulent life. From the beginning of her
analysis until 1944, Mabel wrote to Brill and he replied, yielding
122 letters. No other such extensive, elaborate written
conversations exist between patient and analyst. This book presents
a narrative organized around these letters, featuring the turmoil
in Mabel's relationships with others, most notably D. H. Lawrence,
as well as her extraordinarily candid memoirs, both published and
unpublished, inspired by Brill's fierce insistence upon
constructive outlets. In her correspondence, as in life, Mabel was
despairing, insightful, insecure, and talented, reporting to Brill
her emotional states, seeking his advice. With warmth and
frankness, he offered opinions, affection, and interpretations.
