Excerpt from I, Mary Maclane: Adiary of Human Days I am presciently and analytically egotistic, with some arresting dead-feeling genius. And were I not so tensely tiredly sane I would say that I am mad. So assayed I begin to write this book of myself, to show to myself in detail the woman who is inside me. It may or it mayn't show also a type, a uni versal Eve-old woman. If, it is so it is not my purport. I sing only the Ego and the individual. So does in secret each man and woman and child who breathes, but is afraid to sing it aloud. And mostly none knows it is that he does sing. But it is the only strength of each. A bishop serving truly and tirelessly the poor of his diocese serves a strong vanity and ideal of the Ego in himself. A starving sculptor who lives in and for his own dreams is an Egotist equally with the bishop. And both are Egotists equally with me. Egotist, not egoist, is my word: it and not the idealized one is the 'winged word.' It is made of glow and gleam and splendor, that Ego. I would be its votary.

"Mary MacLane comes off the page quivering with life. She is before her time ... Moving." - London Times With her first book - written in 1901 in Butte, Montana at age nineteen - she was hailed as a marvel by the likes of H.L. Mencken, Clarence Darrow, and Harriet Monroe. She went on to become a pioneering newswoman, gambler extraordinaire, bon vivant, and a star of the silent screen. She influenced Gertrude Stein, inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald, and upon her death in 1929 was eulogized as "an errant daughter of literature ... the first of the self-expressionists, and also the first of the Flappers," as the creator of "that revolution in manners, that transvaluation of values in the female code of behavior known as the Roaring Twenties." Too radical in style for 1902, its original publisher made countless changes to the author's far-superior original - the same pacification reprinted by all other publishers. This annotated, unexpurgated affordable edition makes Mary Mac-Lane's striking teenage debut - "the first of the blogs" - available in its unalterd, uncompromised form. "Mary MacLane's first book was the first of the confessional diaries ever written in this nation, and it was a sensation." - N.Y. Times editoral "Anyone who reads her will never forget her voice." - Biographile "She reminds us of the power of personal narrative, honestly told." - The Atlantic "In a pre-soundbite age she already knew how to draw blood in one direct sentence." - The Awl "She had a short but fiery life of writing and misadventure, and her writing was a template for the confessional memoirs that have become ubiquitous." - The New Yorker "One of the most fascinatingly self-involved personalities of the 20th century." - The Age "A girl wonder." - Harper's "Confessional journalists have people like Mary MacLane to thank." - Flavorwire "Her diaries ignited a national uproar, ushering in a new era for women's voices. Her elegant, ambitious embrace of full-disclosure opened a door to what was possible for women." - The Atlantic "Fiery frankness made her a pioneer." - Time Out Chicago "Her poetry is one of extremes: lust for happiness, despair for life." - Hairy Dog Review "Riveting." - N.H. Public Radio "I Await The Devil's Coming is a small masterpiece, full of camp and swagger." - Parul Sehgal, NPR "Pioneering newswoman, later silent-screen star, considered the veritable spirit of the iconoclastic Twenties." - Boston Globe "A pioneering feminist - a sensation." - Feminist Bookstore News "First of the self-expressionists, and the first of the Flappers." - Chicagoan Check www.marymaclane.com for exclusive content, news, and previews.

Astonishing bestseller from a Butte, Montana, teenager in 1902; major influence on modern writers.

Mary MacLanes fortælling er formet som en dagbog over et par måneder i den nittenårige Marys liv i 1901 i minebyen Butte, Montana. Den er et selvportræt af en livstræt men yderst energisk teenagepige, der føler sig helt fremmedgjort fra sine omgivelser. Stilen er højstemt – til tider meget langt over grænsen til det svulstige – og MacLane fremstår på én gang naiv, kynisk og skrøbelig. Hun tigger om sympati fra læseren, samtidig med at hun ikke ønsker noget højere end at skabe furore - blandt andet ved sine fantasier om Djævelen.
