About This Item
New York: Counterpoint [Perseus Books Group], 2004. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Good in very good dust jacket. Price clipped. Highlighting/underlining. Birth date written in ink on t-p and ink note at end of index. A few pencil marks to text noted. Ink note on rear DJ flap.. xv, 333p. Illustrations. Permissions. Notes. Index. Maeve Brennan (1917-1993) was born in Ireland, but came to the US as a teenager when her family moved to Washington, DC. Gradually rising in the world of journalism, she became a fixture at The New Yorker, writing book reviews, "Talk of the Town" features (Brennan was the magazine's famous "long-winded lady"), and--eventually--short stories. Now considered a masterly fiction writer, Brennan during her lifetime was plagued by poverty, failure, and mental illness. This sympathetic biography traces Brennan's roots back to Ireland and ends with her sad death, but its main focus is on her incomparable stories.
