A memoir by the
New York Times-bestselling author and longtime chronicler of America's wealthy elite.
Born in Connecticut in 1929 and educated at Williams College, Stephen Birmingham went on to create a literary niche with his numerous nonfiction works about New York's-and the nation's-upper class, particularly focusing on Jewish, African American, and Irish communities, as well as old-money WASPs. He also drew on his "intimate knowledge of the private lives of the rich and famous" to write bestselling works of fiction such as
The Auerbach Will (
The New York Times Book Review).
In this book, Birmingham's attention is turned to his own life, both personal and professional, allowing us to learn about the man who created such compelling portraits of glittering parties, exclusive addresses, and, in some cases, rags-to-riches sagas that epitomize the American dream-and the American struggle. In the end, his story is as fascinating as those of the aristocrats he documented.
"When it comes to the folkways of the rich, the powerful, and the privileged, Stephen Birmingham knows what he's talking about." -
