KnopfDoubleday.com knopf Private Life by Jane Smiley CLICK HERE TO READ AN EXCERPT A riveting new novel from the Pulitzer Prize–winner that traverses the intimate landscape of one woman’s life, from the 1880s to World War II. Margaret Mayfield is nearly an old maid at twenty-seven in post–Civil War Missouri when she marries Captain Andrew Jackson Jefferson Early. He’s the most famous man their small town has ever produced: a naval officer and a brilliant astronomer—a genius who, according to the local paper, has changed the universe. Margaret’s mother calls the match “a piece of luck.” Margaret is a good girl who has been raised to marry, yet Andrew confounds her expectations from the moment their train leaves for his naval base in faraway California. Soon she comes to understand that his devotion to science leaves precious little room for anything, or anyone, else. When personal tragedies strike and when national crises envelop the country, Margaret stands by her husband. But as World War II approaches, Andrew’s obsessions take a different, darker turn, and Margaret is forced to reconsider the life she has so carefully constructed. Private Life is a beautiful evocation of a woman’s inner world: of the little girl within the hopeful bride, of the young woman filled with yearning, and of the faithful wife who comes to harbor a dangerous secret. But it is also a heartbreaking portrait of marriage and the mysteries that endure even in lives lived side by side; a wondrously evocative historical panorama; and, above all, a masterly, unforgettable novel from one of our finest storytellers.

Dave Weich , Powells.com The answer depends entirely on which horse you're talking about. In Horse Heaven , we meet horses bound for glory and others who suffer an endless succession of days locked in filthy stalls, neglected by their owners. Smiley takes us to the backside of Belmont and Hollywood Park, to breeding farms, veterinary hospitals, and auction houses where owners bid small (and not so small) fortunes on the prospects of young, untested, but immaculately bred fillies and colts. We wake up with trainers at five a.m. to be at the barn by six and take our morning walk past the stalls. We sleep in late in Paris and laze around in bed, contemplating acquisition. We run hard among brilliant twelve hundred pound beasts.

Back to top AUTHOR TALK May 14, 2010 PRIVATE LIFE Question: Some of the characters in PRIVATE LIFE are based in part on members of your own family - your main character Margaret Mayfield on your great aunt, Frances See and Andrew Early on her infamous scientist husband Thomas Jefferson Jackson See, a naval astronomer whose increasingly implausible theories made him an outcast in the scientific community. Did you ever meet them? Jane Smiley: JS: There were only a few family stories that revealed personal details about them - for example that she drove an elderly Franklin and had a good sense of humor. My mother had visited her in the nineteen-forties, I think, and she remembered that my aunt loved Oriental art (a trait she shares with my character Margaret Mayfield). But almost everything else about Margaret is made up. I could not seem to get her sense of humor into the novel - the material was just too dark for me. My uncle is more famous, and there were plenty of stories about him - almost all of them revealing him as appallingly egomaniacal and obsessed. There was an article about him in a physics journal which described him, essentially, as the kind of scientist you were not supposed to be.
