關於產品
Product Information
In 1978, Rosemary Mahoney, an aspiring young writer of seventeen, wrote a letter to one of her personal idols, inquiring whether this great lady of American letters might need some domestic help during the summer. When Lillian Hellman responded affirmatively, Mahoney was ecstatic, and wasted no time imagining that the summer in Hellman's employ might cement a friendship with the iconic writer, or that the proximity to greatness might spur her own fledgling literary efforts. In reality, Mahoney was lonesome and anxious, hiding behind a facade of self-confidence at a private New England boarding school, harboring the secrets of her complex Irish family. Mahoney saw in Hellman an escape and a salvation from the rigors of growing up. But once she secured the job, her hopes were swiftly shattered as the summer unfolded into an exquisite and grueling exercise in humiliation at the hands of the famously acerbic Hellman and her retinue of celebrated friends. Contrasting the vanity of a seventeen-year-old with that of a seventy-three-year-old, this book is ultimately about the limitations of age, the complexities of literary ambition, and our need for heroes. By turns heartbreaking and uproariously funny,A Likely Storyportrays the painful coming of age of a brilliant young writer and, by extension, the universal story of innocence lost.

Reviews
"A Likely Storyhas the concentrated power of a brilliantly realized novella . . . 'Never meet your heroes,' might be its motto. Though Rosemary Mahoney pulls no punches in her rendering of Lillian Hellman, she is equally honest in portraying the judgmental, bratty powerlessness of adolescence. Irresistibly readable, scandalously interesting, its true subject is not fame but shame, and its salutary role in the formation of a complex self." --Phillip Lopate, author ofPortrait of My Body "Mahoney has an infallible ear for the spoken word and an eye for telling detail. Whoredom in Kimmage's vignettes are encased in a prose so pellucid and evocative that readers may want to stop and reread passages just to savor their rhythms and imagery." --Time "Mahoney is brilliant at re-creating the cast of a face, the cadence of a line, the particular smell of a room. She is a realist and a miniaturist, and one of the pleasures of reading her comes from watching her show how each small detail, no bigger than the shape of a crooked, broken-toothed smile, fits into the bigger canvas of Irish life." --Jonathan Raban "Whoredom in Kimmageis a superb book, the close and patient observation of a world by a writer whose highly developed consciousness expresses itself with ease, mystery and grace." --New York Newsday "What marks Ms. Mahoney's writing as special is her ability to see, feel and describe in simple but evocative prose . . . her choice of language is so right and so graphic that one almost has the sensation of watching a film." --Orville Schell,The New York Times Book Review "Rosemary Mahoney writes with a sharp-eyed sympathy. She has a novelist's way with eloquent detail, remarkable characters, and narrative flow. The Early Arrival of Dreamsis a delight." --John Barth
