The Long-Winded Lady

Originally written between 1954 and 1981 for The New Yorker magazine, Maeve Brennan’s columns take the reader on a fascinating even melancholy tour of the cheap hotels, unassuming restaurants and crowded streets that make up New York City. Brennan presents herself as The Long-Winded Lady of the title in other words a solitary wanderer and subtle observer of the human comedy called Life. Regardless of whether she is riding the subway or watching lovers argue in Washington Square, Brennan captures the highs and lows of the metropolis with uncanny precision.
