Produktbeschreibung

The New Yorker's legendary Paris correspondent explores life and love in the Jazz Age in this novel inspired by her days in Greenwich Village.

From the 1920s to the 1970s, Janet Flanner kept Americans abreast of the goings-on in Paris with a biweekly New Yorker column written under the name Genêt. But before she became one of the country's most famous expats, she lived among the artists and writers of the Algonquin Round Table. Flanner shares a vivid depiction of the New York she knew in this tale of a young woman's self-discovery.

Having left Ohio in search of liberation, Delia Poole struggles to find her place in the big city. After getting work as a costume designer for musical revues, she and her dear friend Nancy are finally finding happiness on their own terms. But nothing is simple. From her adoring suitor, Paul, to her widowed mother's decision to move to New York, Delia must grapple with expectations, responsibilities, and her own uncertainty.

The Cubical City is Janet Flanner's only published novel. Though homosexuality is never overtly expressed, it is considered by literary scholars to be one of the first examples of modernist lesbian literature.
