description: To Soar with Eagles is a collection of letters, anecdotes and conversations spanning the ten-year period of a unique relationship between the world famous Danish author Isak Dinesen (Baroness Karen Blixen) and the young African American musician Eugene Haynes. Dinesen, once considered for the Nobel Prize, is best known for her books Out of Africa, Seven Gothic Tales, Winter's Tales and Angelic Avengers. The friendship between Isak Dinesen and Eugene Haynes has been written about in several of her Judith Thurman's Isak Dinesen-The Life of a Storyteller; Olga Pelensky's Isak Dinesen-The Life and Imagination of a Seducer; and most extensively in Parmenia Migel's Titania-The Biography of Isak Dinesen. After reading To Soar With Eagles, William Maxwell, noted author and former literary editor for the New Yorker called it " a constant pleasure and a real treat."
