Hi, all.
The Long-Winded Lady, Maeve Brennan
I don’t currently have the energy to be long-winded, so I’m ceding the title to Maeve Brennan, who wrote these gorgeously observed essays about life in New York in the mid-20th century. Perfect for anyone who has fallen in love with the rhythms of a city and the quirks of its inhabitants.
If you like it
Try Lauren Elkin’s Flâneuse to stroll through cities and history beyond New York.
If you don’t
Check out Jini Reddy’s Wanderland if you prefer a spiritual roam in the wilderness to the unrelenting pace of city walking.
