"If I have lousy taste, I guess a lot of Americans must have lousy taste, too, because my book sold a million copies" - authorBy Allen SmallingPEYTON PLACE did indeed sell a million copies -- several millions by now -- and inspired a movie, a sequel, and a long-running television soap opera. The story of meek Allison McKenzie, growing up in the late Thirties in a hypocritical mill town in New England in the household of a demanding mother, fascinated many. Yes, some of the language is coarse, but it's naturally coarse language. Allison's friend, through no real fault of her own, gets involved in a legal wrangle about exactly the kind of things Peyton Place "doesn't talk about," which forms the moral and dramatic core of the book. PEYTON PLACE deserves to be read, even today, though I'd recommend skipping the Foreword because it gives too much of the plot away.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. It's Hard To Believe This Was Written in 1956By EulogiaOne evening I watched the movie "Peyton Place" on TCM and became curious about the book it had been based upon. I remember the TV show (which I was never allowed to watch) when I was a child, and for a while it was all the rage. So when I searched .com for a copy of the book, I specifically wanted one published in 1956, preferably an old paperback. Luckily, there were several listed and I obtained one at a very reasonable price.The book is a bit different from the film. The film includes a few of the salacious story lines, but omits many of them. The film never addresses the shame the town had over its founder (a freed slave with the last name Peyton), and made heroes out of several of the town's cowards, such as Norman and Rodney.Allison MacKenzie is the centerpiece of the book and when we first meet her, she is a young girl with few friends and an over protective mother. Allison doesn't understand the reason her mother, Constance, is so stern with her is because of shame over her illegitimacy. Constance was never married to Allison's father and has been lying for years to everyone about being widowed. But as Allison begins to become a young woman, mother and daughter clash and the secret is exposed in a very ugly way."Peyton Place" also includes incest, abortion, rape, murder, suicide, lots of sex, voyeurism, sexual abuse, corruption, you name it. This novel must have been secretly passed around between the neighborhood moms in the 50's and perhaps gossiped about over glasses of iced tea or cups of coffee.The author, Grace Metalious, wrote a classic bit of Americana.The first paragraph reads:"Indian Summer is like a woman. Ripe, hotly passionate, but fickle; she comes and goes as she pleases, so that one is never sure whether she will come at all nor for how long she will stay."In Northern New England, Indian Summer puts up a scarlet-tipped hand to hold winter back for a while. She brings with her the time of the last warm spell, an uncharted season until Winter moves in with its backbone of ice and accouterments of leafless trees and hard, frozen ground."Those grown old, who have had the youth bled from them by the jagged edged winds of winter, know sorrowfully that Indian Summer is a sham to be met with hard-eyed cynicism."But the young wait anxiously, scanning the chill autumn skies for a hint of her coming. And sometimes the old, against all the warnings of better judgment, wait with the young and hopeful, their tired winter eyes looking heavenward to seek the first traces of a false softening."Read "Peyton Place" and travel to this town, walk down its streets, smell the grass and flowers, watch the people walk down the streets to attend one of the two churches, and then watch them go back home to all the secrets behind closed doors.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good sequelBy Frank Davis IIIIt was a good follow up to Peyton Place. Most of the characters are well rounded and we are able to re-visit with some of the originl Peyton Place characters. Some new characters are added but my interest was still in the people from the original book. This book seems to withstand the years and could be considered current in thought. There is a forward by Ardis Cameron who is an instructer at So. Maine University. It led me to purchase her book "Unbuttoning America." I also purchased The Tight White Collar by Grace. Peyton Place is a literary masterpiece, brilliantly written, every word artfully crafted. It was made into a major motion picture in 1958, a long-running TV Series and several sequels and adaptations. This reprint includes a 30 page introduction and 11 screen shots from the first movie version of the book starring Lana Turner.

  • Parents and Surrogate Parents
    Parents and Surrogate Parents Harriet Jordan, 2003 Written as part of the M.Litt. program at the University of Sydney, in the subject Pulp Fiction: Medieval and Modern. The relationship most commonly represented in literature is probably the romantic/sexual relationship between a man and a woman (or, occasionally, between two people of the same gender). However, the parent-child relationship is found almost as frequently. This is not always a biological relationship: a text will often make it clear that two people from different generations exist in either a formal or informal surrogate parent-child relationship. The main action of Floris and Blauncheflour is initiated by the fairly standard situation of a parent who does not agree with his child’s choice of romantic partner. In this case, there is a slight twist, in that the Saracen king is effectively father to both children, even though he only has a blood relationship with Floris. However, when he realises that the children love each other, and “when they were of age, / That her love wolde noght swage, / Nor he might noght her love withdraw / When Florys shuld wife after the lawe”1, he shows no hesitation in sacrificing Blauncheflour to protect the future of his biological child. It is only the intervention of his Queen that prevents him from ordering Blauncheflour’s death; and, had Floris not attempted suicide over her supposed “death”, it is likely that he would never have learned the truth. Although he is ultimately redeemed, the King fails both his child and his surrogate child in the handling of this situation.

Ayant désespérément besoin de parler à quelqu’un, elle lui confie ses craintes de perdre son mari, Steven, au profit d’Adrienne Van Leyden.

  • Chère Grace Metalious, Une Simple Remarque. Rodney Harrington Et Betty Anderson Ont Fait Leur Petite Affaire À Silver Lake, Un Soir D’Été Très Humide
    Chère Grace Metalious, Une simple remarque. Rodney Harrington et Betty Anderson ont fait leur petite affaire à Silver Lake, un soir d’été très humide. Rodney Junior est né le 31 octobre à New York. Comment est-ce possible ? Respectueusement, A. Farnsworth Wood 26 janvier 1960 A l’automne 1956, Mrs. Thomas H. Leary se plongea dans la lecture du livre incontournable du moment, un roman controversé dont l’intrigue se déroulait dans une ville fictive de Nouvelle- Angleterre : Peyton Place. Mais sa lecture fut semée d’embûches. Son fils, étudiant au prestigieux Dartmouth College, « était révulsé, écrivit-elle dans une lettre adressée à Grace Metalious, et mon mari n’était pas moins contrarié ». Distraite et frustrée par la réaction des hommes de sa famille, elle ne put prêter à l’histoire toute son attention. Mais, quelques années plus tard, l’épouse et mère de famille originaire de Seattle eut l’occasion de donner au roman une nouvelle chance. « Après avoir lu Retour à Peyton Place dernièrement, expliqua-t-elle, je n’ai tout bonnement pas pu m’empêcher de reprendre Peyton Place depuis le début. » Enfin seule, 11 274521UAR_PEYTON_CS6_PC.indd 11 23/01/2017 10:00:32 Mrs. Leary dévora les deux romans et confirma sa première impression : « Personnellement, j’ai trouvé l’histoire absolument fascinante… Surtout, continuez d’écrire – votre immense talent mérite d’être connu1*. » Mrs. Leary n’est certainement pas la seule à avoir lu Peyton Place en douce. Ni à supplier l’auteur de continuer à écrire – « peu importe les critiques ! », comme l’exprimera un autre correspondant.

    What’s It Like Reading ‘Peyton Place’ Today? - NYTimes.com http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/09/books/review/whats-it-like... http://nyti.ms/Nod3JH SUNDAY BOOK REVIEW What’s It Like Reading ‘Peyton Place’ Today? MARCH 4, 2014 Each week in Bookends, two writers take on questions about the world of books. This week, Thomas Mallon and Anna Holmes discuss what it’s like reading “Peyton Place” today, 50 years after the death of its author, Grace Metalious. By Thomas Mallon In the parlance of the time, people purchased the novel “for one thing only,” and they didn’t care about its mind. Grace Metalious’s first novel has survived for so long as a steamy meme — “Locked in the bathroom with ‘Peyton Place’!” sings one character recalling his adolescence in “A Chorus Line” — that at this remove it’s hard to see the book for the phenomenon. When I recently opened up a copy, I discovered that its 15th print run, issued a year after initial publication, was still dappled with typos, an indication of how fast and heedlessly 1950s readers had needed to get to third base with this text. “Peyton Place” was the local bookshop’s bad girl, the paper- and-print equivalent of its own Betty Anderson. In the parlance of the time, people purchased it “for one thing only,” and they didn’t care about its mind. Today’s reader will get a number of surprises. For all its association with the Eisenhower era, about two-thirds of “Peyton Place” is set in the 1930s; the rest takes place during World War II.
