Twenty-five years later, she sharpens her pen for her most controversial work yet -- the biography of her old friend, the radical and feminist Fanny Wright. She recalls the 1820s when the young Fanny erupted into the Trollopes' sleepy English cottage like a volcano, her red hair flying, her talk aflame with utopian ideals. Before long, Wright convinced her to follow her to America, a journey of extreme penury, frontier hardships, and the most satisfying sensual romance of Frances Trollope's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFanny: A Fiction\u003c\/em\u003e is a wonderful new departure for Edmund White -- a quirky, dazzling story of two extraordinary nineteenth-century women, and a vibrant, questioning exploration of the nature of idealism, the clay feet of heroes, and the illusory power of the American dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhite, Edmund:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eEdmund White is the author of the novels \u003cem\u003eFanny: A Fiction\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eA Boy's Own Story\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Farewell Symphony\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Married Man\u003c\/em\u003e; a biography of Jean Genet; a study of Marcel Proust; and, most recently, a memoir, \u003cem\u003eMy Lives\u003c\/em\u003e.
