Description
Edge of Taos Desert: An Escape to Reality is a remarkable account of Mabel Sterne's journey to the American West in 1917. As a patron of the arts and spokeswoman for the New York avant-garde, she sought a new life in the Southwest, and New Mexico proved to be a transformative destination.
Through her experiences, Mabel describes the geography and culture of the region, and her growing fascination with the Pueblo Indians. Her story is one of personal and philosophical transformation, as she finds a new sense of purpose and belonging in the desert landscape.
This autobiographical account, first published in 1987, offers a unique perspective on the American West and the power of nature to inspire and transform us. Mabel's writing is both moving and thought-provoking, making this book a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of art, culture, and the human experience.
