Writings from The New Yorker

First Scribner hardcover edition.

xxv, 335 p. : ill., photographs ; 24 cm.

"A staff writer for The New Yorker since 1945, Lillian Ross was the first person to write journalism in "scenes" as novelists do, and her profiles are full of humor and details that bring her subjects alive on the page. Her style has been studied and imitated by numerous writers. But there is only one Lillian Ross: spirited, funny, factual, and unforgettable. A wide range of her New Yorker articles and "Talk of the Town" pieces spanning sixty years, bringing readers into Robin Williams's living room; the afterschool hangouts of Manhattan private-school children; the hotel rooms of Ernest Hemingway, John Huston, and Charlie Chaplin; onto the tennis court with John McEnroe; and into the lives of many other famous and not-so-famous characters. Ross's portraits are filled with rich details that reveal her subjects in amusing and perceptive ways. A foreword by David Remnick discusses Ross's trademark style and her important place in the history of The New Yorker.
