Loose Leaves

[a very nice copy, light wear to bottom edge, slight dust-soiling to page edges; jacket shows light wear at extremities, one tiny tear and associated crease at top left-hand corner of front panel]. The author's first book, a collection of essays about contemporary American culture, "a rollicking kaleidoscope of modern life." Several are about opera (she had a bit of a musical career herself, it seems, before becoming a writer and regular contributor to The Saturday Evening Post), and a number are in the form of little playlets. (Her father had been a Hearst editor, and she later became a Washington correspondent, which led to her collaboration with George S. Kaufman on the 1935 play "First Lady," about the capital's "social lobby.")
