About the Author
Fran Lebowitz is the author of two books of essays, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies, and a children’s book, Mr. Chas and Lisa Sue Meet the Pandas. She is currently at work on a novel entitled Exterior Signs of Wealth, and Progress, a book-length essay.
From the Inside Flap
upon its publication in 1935, BUtterfield 8 was inspired by a news account of the discovery of the body of a beautiful young woman washed up on a Long Island beach. Was it an accident, a murder, a suicide? The circumstances of her death were never resolved, but O Hara seized upon the tragedy to imagine the woman s down-and-out life in New York City in the early 1930s.
O Hara understood better than any other American writer how class can both reveal and shape character, Fran Lebowitz writes in her Introduction. With brash honesty and a flair for the unconventional, BUtterfield 8 lays bare the unspoken and often shocking truths that lurked beneath the surface of a society still reeling from the effects of the Great Depression. The result is a masterpiece of American fiction.
