The Vengeance of Amelia Earhart

What if legendary aviator Amelia Earhart fell in love with famed French philosopher Simone de Beauvoir? What if Stephen King were bitten by a werewolf? And what if Gustavo Flaubert tried to write a prequel to his classic novel Madame Bovary? These and other questions are imagined in The Vengeance of Amelia Earhart, a collection of fantastic literary tales that turn the tables on classic authors by fictionalizing their lives. Other authors include Carson McCullers, Somerset Maugham, Mikhail Bulgakov, Alice Sheldon, and Anna Kavan, demonstrating that, as much as we romanticize such great artists, their lives can be as lonely and tragic as anyone else's.
