Elaine Dundy Libri
Elaine Dundy fu una scrittrice dall'occhio accattivante per il mondo e le sue assurdità. Le sue opere catturano la vibrante energia e lo spirito bohémien della Parigi e di Londra del dopoguerra, dove visse e creò. Attraverso i suoi romanzi e biografie, avvicinò affascinanti personaggi ed epoche ai lettori con arguzia e uno stile inconfondibile. Dundy intrecciò magistralmente finzione e realtà, rivelando le complessità delle relazioni umane e la ricerca dell'identità.

Having made a vow to go native in a way the natives never had the stamina for, Sally Jay Gorce is busy getting drunk, having affairs, losing her money, passport and pearls. This is the timeless account of a woman hell-bent on living.
Elaine Dundy, a New Yorker born in the 1930s, is the author of The Dud Avocado, based on a year she spent in Paris. Here she presents her memoirs which begin in classy apartments on Park Lane before the Crash, include a wild and funny time as an actress in Paris and London, and reveal all about her disastrous marriage to theater critic Kenneth Tynan. Her literary and theatrical circle—which included Peter Finch, Tennesse Williams, Hemingway, and Gore Vidal—is presented along with poignant remembrances of growing up in America in the 40s, and a literary and theatrical life in Paris and London.
