Lengthy good gossipy memoir of Hardwick and other founders of the New York Review of Books; combined with Pinckney’s unstructured memories (with asides from his partner, James Fenton) and historical info on the NAACP, Harlem Renaissance, though I longed for an index. ( ) Strangely Pinckney was a new writer to me. I enjoyed this memoir, which in reality was more a memoir about the writer Elizabeth Hardwick who was his tutor, and subsequently long term friend. You get a very powerful sense of who she and her milieu were (there is much about Barbara Epstein, Susan Sontag and Mary McCarthy too; and not part of her group, but some about James Baldwin as well - which also drew my attention to this book). It lost half a star simply because from 2/3rds through the he said/she said got a bit monotonous for a while. I now have a novel and volume of essays in the tbr mountain. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
