She has received many awards, most recently the Lannan Literary Fellowship for fiction. 01 eng 136 01 Carole Maso's <strong>Aureole</strong> is a brilliant, fragmented, overtly sexual novel of an American woman coming to terms with her sexuality, her lesbianism and her erotic relationship to the world. Maso's early work like <strong>Ghost Dance</strong> were precise, sophisticated linear narratives that explained how the world worked. She has been moving towards a highly personal and impressionistic style in <strong>AVA</strong> and <strong>The American Woman in the Chinese Hat</strong> that explains, through innovative use of language and cadence, how the world feels. <strong>Aureole</strong> is a textured, linguistic and measured journey in which Maso makes us experience the sound and taste of the word itself with an eroticism of language that is as sensual and tactile as touch itself. 02 Carole Maso's Aureole is a brilliant, fragmented, overtly sexual novel of an American woman coming to terms with her sexuality, her lesbianism and her erotic relationship to the world. Maso's early work like Ghost Dance were precise, sophisticated... 08 "Whether she is writing about two women washing lentils or a man's desire for a woman's pair of ink-stained hands, Maso charges her very sentences with such sexual energy that form and content literally become one. Reading Aureole is pure pleasure." Marjorie Perloff 08 "Maso's voice is all her own: simultaneously cerebral and sensual, violently romantic and insistently woman-centered." San Francisco Chronicle 08 "Carole Maso is that rare creature - an original! Her voice and vision are like no one else's." Edmund White 08 "Maso is gaining a reputation for reshaping language and form in unique, beautiful, experimental yet totally readable ways. She epitomizes all that is great about American literature today."
