Review of Ruth Moore's Spoonhandle
Jefferson’s review in the Maine Sunday Telegram of Ruth Moore’s 1946 novel, Spoonhandle, reissued by Islandport Press.
“I first heard of Ruth Moore through a bumper sticker. In retrospect, this unusual occurrence reflects not only of Moore’s literary icon status in Maine, but also the state’s vibrant literary culture, which manages to exist, and indeed thrive, in a magical space – the ‘Maine of the Mind,’ as writer and artist Stephen Petroff has called it – outside the Vacationland Matrix.”
