Blog: “Sally Franson vs. Mrs. Bridge” by Sally Franson
Mrs. Bridge, the novel by Evan S. Connell that was originally published in 1959, is one of those books that writers like to reference during constant brief moments of insecurity at literary-minded social gatherings. “Oh, Mrs. Bridge,” we’ll say casually, leaning on a folding chair until we knock it over and send our plate of cheese flying, “it’s really a book for writers, don’t you think?” And when our conversation mate expresses a lack of familiarity with Mrs. Bridge and/or tries to escape from our clutches, we will say, louder, “IT’S TOO BAD SO FEW PEOPLE HAVE READ IT, BECAUSE IT’S QUITE BRILLIANT.”
