Autorenporträt
Patrick Dennis (Evanston, Illinois, 1921 - Nueva York, 1976), pseudónimo de Edward Everett Tanner III, fue un icono de la bohemia de Nueva York, además de uno de los escritores norteamericanos más populares de los años cincuenta y sesenta del siglo XX. La tía Mame, que había sido rechazada por diecinueve editores, vendió, al ser publicada en 1955, más de dos millones de ejemplares en Estados Unidos y se mantuvo ciento doce semanas en la lista de los diez libros más vendidos del New York Times. Dennis se convirtió en 1956 en el primer escritor en conseguir colocar en esa misma lista tres títulos, firmados con tres seudónimos distintos: La tía Mame, The Loving Couple: His (and Her) y Guestward, Ho!. En esta editorial han aparecido La tía Mame (Acantilado, 2010) y La vuelta al mundo con la tía Mame (Acantilado, 2013).
