Reviews
"A wonderful and revealing book about the bond between two strong American women involved in a lifelong triangle and the different, sometimes conflicting, paths they take across time--and across the country--toward intimacy and real self-knowledge. Eccentric, readable, and beautifully crafted, this novel shows us what it means to be an artist and what it means to love other people, and a stream of bracing fun and wit burbles behind the book's powerful, contemporary American story. Freeman, as always, captures nuance and character in swift, evocative strokes, and never flinches from taking a hard look at what the dark future holds and how we are to face it."-- Amy Wilentz, author of The Rainy Season "Like Crossing to Safety, Wallace Stegner's classic novel of life-long friendship in all its richness and complexity, Judith Freeman's MacArthur Park invites us into the deepest, truest, most contradictory chambers of the intimate, difficult, and surprising bonds between three beautifully drawn characters across the decades. You might not always like these three, but you will love them, as I do--for who they once were, who they have become, and who they may yet still be."-- John Burnham Schwartz, author of The Red Daughter and The Commoner "A fascinating novel built delicately on the shifting sands of interwoven destinies, MacArthur Park tells the tale of three flawed people intimately linked by love and mutual history. Judith Freeman's humanity and compassion are a marvel, as is her understanding of the deep roots of friendship and the patient unfolding of relationships."-- Janet Fitch, author of The Revolution of Marina M. "Judith Freeman's gift as a writer is weaving faces and places into the vivid landscapes she knows so well. This time she takes us from L.A's MacArthur Park to Utah through the rural west, while offering a glimpse of the feminist art world in a moving and complex story about childhood best friends, and the lover who later comes between them. MacArthur Park is a poetic and mysteriously wondrous tale of marriage and friendship."-- Tina Barney, photographer "Judith Freeman's luminously written tale of two friends on a journey toward self-resolution shines with grace, wisdom, and compassion. I was so entranced by the inner and outer worlds Freeman creates, I didn't want this heart-opening book to end." --Barbara Feldon, a ctor/author of Living Alone & Loving it! "I'm a longtime fan of Judith Freeman's work, but I believe she's surpassed herself with MacArthur Park. It's as though she's distilled all she's learned and experienced in her life and turned it into a beautiful story of friendship filled with gorgeous prose and deep emotion. She explores what it means to be an artist, delves into the vicissitudes of life and death, and takes us on journey through the splendor (and sometimes ugliness) of the American West--with dollops of Flaubert, Faulkner, Chekhov, Collette, and Chandler along the way." --Lisa See, author of The Island of Sea Women "Judith Freeman's spellbinding, exquisitely written new novel about a long marriage and a longer, difficult friendship, stands as proof that the examined life is well worth the telling. This is a book that a young novelist, no matter how dazzling, could never produce: MacArthur Park is emotionally mature, steeped in experience, and luminous from a lifetime of paying fierce, close attention to the world and its maddening humans. A beauty of a book." --Michelle Huneven, author of Blame, "A wonderful and revealing book about the bond between two strong American women involved in a lifelong triangle and the different, sometimes conflicting, paths they take across time--and across the country--toward intimacy and real self-knowledge. Eccentric, readable, and beautifully crafted, this novel shows us what it means to be an artist and what it means to love other people, and a stream of bracing fun and wit burbles behind the book's powerful, contemporary American story.

Synopsis
A captivating, emotionally taut novel about the complexities of a friendship between two women--and how it shapes, and reshapes, both of their lives "Filled with gorgeous prose and deep emotion . . . Explores what it means to be an artist, delves into the vicissitudes of life and death, and takes us on journey through the splendor (and sometimes ugliness) of the American West--with dollops of Flaubert, Faulkner, Chekhov, Collette, and Chandler along the way."--Lisa See, author of The Island of Sea Women Jolene and Verna share complicated ties that have crystallized over time. Beginning when they were girls discovering their needs and desires, their ongoing stories have been inextricably linked. But when Verna marries Vincent, Jolene's ex-husband, their paths may have finally, permanently diverged. A successful and provocative feminist artist, Jolene travels the world, attracting attention wherever she goes. Verna, a writer, works from her home near MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, where she and Vincent plan to spend the rest of their lives in a contemplative, intimate routine. Then Jolene asks one more favor of Verna--to take a road trip with her to their small hometown in Utah. It's a journey that will force them to confront both the truths and falsehoods of their memories of each other and of the very beginnings of their friendship, and to reckon with the meaning of love, of time itself, of the bonds that matter most to us, and with what we owe one another., A captivating, emotionally taut novel about the complexities of a friendship between two women-and how it shapes, and reshapes, both of their lives "Filled with gorgeous prose and deep emotion . . .
