A brilliant and scathing look at the New York literary scene which was a sensational hit when first released and has remained a cult classic ever since. Fresh as ever, the witty and whimsical novella follows poet Lucinella in her adventures among the literati as she travels from Yaddo-like writers' colonies to the grit of the city, where writers are confronted with questions of how husbands, publishers and filing systems can boost their careers and get their lives in order.
