Corey's Feast
A Novel by Sallie Bingham
Corey is a middle aged Easterner, long-divorced, energetic and fearlessly sensual.
Pursuing a dream she has nursed for years, she moves to Taos, New Mexico and buys a famous old house (a la Mabel Luhan?) and in the tradition of its famous owner, turns it into a crucible for the transformation of her guests.
Eccentric and charming with a lover from the Pueblo and lots of turquoise and broomstick skirts, Cory finds her guests, mainly skiers and tourists, bewildered by her particular philosophy, which she calls "The School of As-If"
Then her long-time friend is found murdered and Cory is suspicious of the local police's half hearted attempts to find the murderer.<>Involving herself in trying to solve the case, her unleashed power leads to surprising and even terrifying results.
Part murder mystery, part adventure, (part Celestine Prophecy spiritual), this ground breaking novel traces the mature lives of Cory and her much more conventional sister Apple, who first appeared in the author's Matron of Honor, described by Publishers Weekly as "A Powerful Novel, her best yet."
Sallie Bingham's first novel was published shortly after she graduated from Radcliffe, followed by five more novels and three collections of short stories celebrating the lives of women.
This latest, Cory's Feast continues to spotlight adventurous women whose challenges and choices illustrate the social changes of the twenty-first century.
Her short stories and poetry have been widely published and her plays have been produced both off-Broadway and around the country. She has received fellowships from Yaddo, the MacDowell Colony and the Virginia Center, and is the founder of The Kentucky Foundation for women.
