Orphen’s betrayal is not the only one, nor the worst one, in this hilarious satire  of the New York literary scene. (Powell personally considered this to be her best  New York novel.) Powell takes revenge here on all publishers, and her baffoonish  MacTweed is a comic invention worthy of Dickens. And as always in Powell’s New York  novels, the city itself becomes a central character: “On the glittering black pavement  legs hurried by with umbrella tops, taxis skidded along the curb, their wheels swishing  through the puddles, raindrops bounced like dice in the gutter.” Powell’s famous  wit was never sharper than here, but \u003ci\u003eTurn, Magic Wheel\u003c\/i\u003e is also one of the most poignant  and heart-wrenching of her novels.","brand":"Steerforth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216456478975,"sku":"9781883642723","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781883642723_s600x595.jpg?v=1781542691","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781883642723","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
