	Historic Bath - Edna Ferber
		To Edna's delight, she found that a few show boats were still operating in the South—on the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, on the rivers of North Carolina and Ohio, and in the Louisiana bayous.
		Here Edna bought a slab of milk chocolate, a box of "dampish crackers," and a bag of "last winter's apples." She decided to forego the cheese, but her meager supplies kept her satisfied for the rest of the day and part of the next.
		Ferber's treatment of actress Julie Dozier (a mulatto woman) and her husband, Steve, was inspired by one of the many tales that Charles Hunter shared with Edna aboard the James Adams.

	Edna Ferber / Personality Plus
		Edna Ferber, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Show Boat and Giant, achieved her first great success with a series of stories featuring Emma McChesney: a smart, stylish, divorced mother who in a mere twelve years rose from stenographer to traveling sales representative to business manager and partner of the T. Buck Featherloom Petticoat Company.
		In this bracingly modern novel, first published in 1914, Ferber contrasts the virtues of talent with those of experience to provide a fresh, readable, and smartly entertaining contest between a mother and her adult son.
		Edna Ferber (1887-1968) was a journalist and author whose best-known works include the Pulitzer Prize-winning So Big and the novels that were made into the musical Showboat and the movies Giant and Cimarron.

	Ice Palace: A Novel for Alaska Statehood
		Ferber liked to take a stand in her fiction: her previous novel, Giant (1953), had narrowed the eyes of Texans in anger, prompting one Houston critic to suggest ominously that if Ms.
		Ferber were ever to set foot in the Lone Star state again, she should be met with a "necktie party" (rather than the traditional autograph affair).
		The focal point of Ferber's novel is the lovely teenager Christine Storm, who was born in the slit-open carcass of a caribou in the middle of a snowstorm deep in the Alaskan wilderness.

		The river and the theater are not only Ferber's favorite settings but her metaphors for exploring the life of consciousness and explaining the forces that shape personality.
		Magnolia's daughter and her husband, the "new" American theater of New York, the "reformed" Chicago--all these are condemned less in the surface narrative than in the energy Ferber brings to the subjects that are closer to her heart: characters and places whose life traces its wellsprings to the river.
		Because Ferber presents her characters as deliberately assuming melodramatic parts, we don't see them as stereotypes as much as fellow beings taking on the roles required of us all to deal with life's changes as symbolized by the river.

	Edna Ferber / Half Portions
		While they range greatly in length and tone, they all share the trademark wit and affectionate insight of Edna Ferber.
		Showcasing the facility with words that made her a mainstay at the Algonquin round table, Ferber explores some of her favorite themes: the role of women (especially strong or unconventional women) in modern society, the mores of the midwestern small town, and the changes over time in relationships between parents and children.
		The stories gathered here are beautifully observed chronicles of early twentieth-century life and are filled with characters who, despite their very human foibles, are all bestowed by Ferber with warmth and dignity.
