Of all the incomparable stable of journalists who wrote for The New Yorker during its glory days in the Fifties and Sixties, writes The Independent, the most distinctive was Irish-born Maeve Brennan. From 1954 to 1981, Maeve Brennan wrote for The New Yorker s Talk of the Town column under the pen name The Long-Winded Lady. Her unforgettable sketchesprose snapshots of life in small restaurants, cheap hotels, and crowded streets of Times Square and the Villagetogether 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 at the height of her power. As contemporary culture revisits with new appreciation the pioneering female voices of the past century, Maeve Brennan remains a writer whose dazzling work continues to embolden a new generation.
