The Long-Winded Lady

by Maeve Brennan

The Long-Winded Lady Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From 1954 to 1981, Maeve Brennan contributed to 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 the streets, diners, and cheap hotels just off Times Square - are a timeless, bittersweet tribute to what she calls the most ambitious, most comical . . . the saddest and coldest and most human of cities.
