The Long-Winded Lady: Notes from the New Yorker -- Maeve Brennan, Paperback

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 of Times Square and the Village--together 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 The New Yorker's finest writers.
