The Long-Winded Lady - Couverture souple

From 1954 to 1981, Maeve Brennan wrote for the New Yorker's ""Talk of the Town"" department under the pen name The Long-Winded Lady. Her unforgettable sketches - prose snapshots of life in small restaurants, cheap hotels and crowded streets - form a timeless, bittersweet tribute to what she called ""the most reckless, most ambitious, most confused, most comical, the saddest and coldest and most human of cities"". First published in 1969, The Long-Winded Lady is a celebration of one of New York's greatest writers.
