On December 13, 1927, James Arlington Wright was born in Martins Ferry, Ohio. His father worked for fifty years at a glass factory, and his mother left school at fourteen to work in a laundry; neither attended school beyond the eighth grade. While in high school in 1943 Wright suffered a nervous breakdown and missed a year of school. When he graduated in 1946, a year late, he joined the army and was stationed in Japan during the American occupation. He then attended Kenyon College on the G.I. Bill, and studied under John Crowe Ransom. He graduated cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1952, then married another Martins Ferry native, Liberty Kardules. The two traveled to Austria, where, on a Fulbright Fellowship, Wright studied the works of Theodor Storm and Georg Trakl at the University of Vienna. He returned to the U.S. and earned master's and doctoral degrees at the University of Washington, studying with Theodore Roethke and Stanley Kunitz. He went on to teach at The University of Minnesota, Macalester College, and New York City's Hunter College.
Two fast-friend galentines make psychedelic brownies to stick it to the mean girls with a bored small-town Nancy Drew on their heels. A mashup of Mean Girls, Nancy Drew, and a drug crime drama. I'm a sucker for fun stories focused on friendship (toxic or otherwise) but I'm always nervously waiting for that other shoe to drop of either romance or funless drama. Vol 1 introduces the players and the conflict, but I feel liked there's a marked tone shift as rifts start to form setting up for the collision of events presumably in Vol 2.
