Specificatii
To be a staff writer at The New Yorker during its heyday of the
1950s and 1960s was to occupy one of the most coveted--and
influential--seats in American culture. Witty, beautiful, and
Irish-born Maeve Brennan was lured to such a position in 1948 and
proceeded to dazzle everyone who met her, both in person and on the
page. From 1954 to 1981 under the pseudonym The Long-Winded Lady,
Brennan wrote matchless urban sketches of life in Times Square and
the Village for the Talk of the Town column, and under her own name
published fierce, intimate fiction--tales of childhood, marriage,
exile, longing, and the unforgiving side of the Irish temper. Yet
even with her elegance and brilliance, Brennan's rise to genius was
as extreme as her collapse: at the time of her death in 1993, Maeve
Brennan had not published a word since the 1970s and had slowly
slipped into madness, ending up homeless on the same streets of
Manhattan that had built her career. It is Angela Bourke's
achievement with Maeve Brennan: Homesick at The New Yorker to bring
much-deserved attention to Brennan's complex legacy in all her
triumph and tragedy--from Dublin childhood to Manhattan glamour,
and from extraordinary literary achievement to tragic destitution.
With this definitive biography of this troubled genius, it is clear
that Brennan, though always an outsider in her own life and times,
is rightfully recognized as one of the best writers to ever grace
the pages of The New Yorker.
