 Trapped in a doll's house / The disturbed, lonely writer behind a children's best-seller
Dare Wright was born in 1914 to Ivan Leonard Wright, a theater critic, and Edith "Edie" Stevenson Wright, a portrait painter.
Wright missed years of schooling and had no contact with other children; a reporter visiting Edie's studio remarked on the child's condition, saying she should be in school; the reporter also mentioned that Wright's dolls and toys were decrepit.
Wright's weak spot was reality; having never experienced a normal life, she seemed unable to break away from the surreal, abusive world created by her mother.

 New Crisis, The: Getting Richard right
By any measure, Wright was an incorrigible young man. In that era in Mississippi, he was the kind of youth that seemed to have a rope with his name on it waiting for him.
The combination of Wright's literary success and his suspicion that the Communist Party (CP) was not sincerely committed to "the Negro cause" brought long-simmering tensions with his comrades in the CP to a head.
Wright, in Rowley's rendering, had always been viewed with suspicion by the CP cadres; his intellect and polished enunciation made him less than an "authentic Negro" by their standards.

Blond, beautiful Wright had begun her career as an actress and model and then turned to fashion photography before stumbling upon her role as bestselling author.

With painstaking resolve, Jean Nathan has captured this elusive creature and, with compassion and empathy, brought her back to life.
My original copy of The Lonely Doll was without the jacket photo of the author and so I always assumed (because of the spanking scene, I guess) Dare Wright was a man. I never suspected the strange psychology of the writer belonged to a woman, and a knock-out blonde bombshell, born in Toronto at that.
Were it not for the many photographs Dare Wright left behind, her biography would barely hold together--not because of the efforts of Jean Nathan, but because Dare lived such a vaguely etched life, as ethereal and remote as Edith and the bears.
