Early Career
Ranson-Polizzotti first became known for her premier novel, Eels, which was published by Alyscamps Press in Paris on September 5, 1997. Eels was compared to the novel by Elizabeth Smart, By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept and, among others, Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar. The novella, Eels, was well received and well-reviewed by The Review of Contemporary Fiction, as well as the (then print-only) edition of The Boston Book Review in October, 1996 and in the Fall issue of The Harvard Review. At the time of publication, Ranson had already left David R. Godine Publisher to found her own imprint, Lumen Editions.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or career:
“I got a little secretarial job after college, but I thought of it as a prelude. Education, work, whatever you did before marriage, was only a prelude to your real life, which was marriage.”
—Bonnie Carr (c. early 1930s)
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
