Manhattan, When I Was Young Zusammenfassung

Manhattan, When I Was Young Mary Cantwell

Mary Cantwell arrived in Manhattan one summer in the early 1950s with $80, a portable typewriter, a wardrobe of unsuitable clothes, a copy of The Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins, a boyfriend she was worried might be involved with the Communists and no idea how to live on her own. She moved to the Village because she had heard of it and worked at Mademoiselle because that was where the employment agency sent her.

In this evocative unflinching book Cantwell recalls the city she knew then by revisiting five apartments in which she lived. Her memoir vividly recreates both a particular Golden Era in New York and the sometimes painful, sometimes exhilarating process of forging a self.

Manhattan, When I Was Young Bewertungen

Cantwell writes with breathless intensity * PEOPLE *
A spare, beautifully etched memoir * TIME 'Her courage as a wife and working mother has a life and inspiration all its own' *
LOS ANGELES TIMES * 'By offering so rich a narrative, the author stokes a reader's hunger for ever more disclosure and intimacy ... in the days when New York stood for all that was adult, and when being an adult actually looked like everything desirable' *
NEW YORK TIMES
