Présentation de l'éditeur :
Revue de presse :
Extraordinary... Elegantly written, Rooney creates a glorious paean to a distant literary life and time and an unabashed celebration of human connections that bridge past and future.
Publishers Weekly
In my reckless and undiscouraged youth, I worked in a walnut-paneled office thirteen floors above West Thirty-Fifth Street
She took 1930s New York by storm, working her way up writing copy for Macy's department store to become the highest paid advertising woman in the world.
Now it s the last night of 1984 and Lillian, 85 years old but just as sharp as ever, is on her way to a party. It's chilly enough for her mink coat and Manhattan is grittier but the quick-tongued poet has never been one to scare easily. On a walk that takes her over 10 miles around the city, she meets bartenders, shopkeepers, criminals, parents, and parents-to-be, while reviewing a life of excitement and adversity, passion and heartbreak, illuminating all the ways New York has changed - and endured.
A love letter to city life in all its guts and grandeur, Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk paints a portrait of a remarkable woman across the canvas of a changing America: from the Jazz Age to the onset of the AIDS epidemic; the Great Depression to the birth of hip-hop.
Based on the life of Margaret Fishback, a protofeminist and pioneering ad woman.
Charming... like taking a street-level tour through six decades of New York. --New York Times
Enchanting... Pre-Mad Men, Lillian combines the smarts of Peggy Olson, the sex appeal of Joan Holloway, and a hefty dose of independence that s all her own. --Financial Times
A love letter to a stylish and atmospheric city walk-ups and automats, cocktails and hat-brims and a sharp, wise, entertaining read. --Daily Mail
