Sandra Scoppettone’s shorter works bookend her career, spanning five decades from 1961 to 2011. Suzuki Beane, her first published work, was a collaboration with illustrator Louise Fitzhugh that parodied Kay Thompson’s Eloise by transplanting the concept to Greenwich Village’s Beat scene. Tag Sale, published fifty years later, shows Scoppettone still working in shorter forms late in her career.
