Ellen Spolsky, WORD VS IMAGE: COGNITIVE HUNGER IN SHAKESPEARE'S ENGLAND
To read CURTAIN RISING is to watch a glistening hologram in which we see, almost simultaneously, Lenni's early submission, to her pre-feminist marriage and her eventual insurgency and transformation. From the rich and challenging present, we are transported to days before the web offered space for a young mother to admit she had more inspiring things to do than to meet her mother-in-law at the airport. In midlife, Silverstein has found a magical way to display pain and possibility. The sparkling display itself is a sign of triumph.
MeMe Riordan, Professor Emerita,, Former Chair- English, City College San Francisco
CURTAIN RISING is the splendid portrayal of a woman who fights for and achieves her creative expression. Against the background of the 50s and 60s, and a marriage that begins in idealism and ends with mutual respect, despite divorce, Lenni struggles for her freedom in both art and life The driving truthfulness and courage shows us a victory over self that is fierce and uncompromising. A tender story and a marvelous read!
