Reseña del editor
Nuala O'Faolain received critical acclaim for her candid memoirs Are You Somebody? and Almost There. Here, she embraces the life of a notorious criminal, an unrepentant and enigmatic daughter of Ireland - Chicago May. Legend says that May was a mesmerizing beauty, with startling blue eyes and hair spun of red and gold who captured the hearts of men wherever she went. At nineteen, she stole her family's savings and ran away from her home in rural Ireland to America, arriving first at Nebraska. May then travelled to Chicago and onto New York where she worked in a variety of unsavoury jobs and was soon hailed in tabloids as a 'Queen of the Underworld'. But this was nothing in comparison with what was to follow. In 1901, May had fallen in love with big-time criminal Eddie Guerin and followed him to Paris where together, they robbed the American Express. But they were both caught and sent to prison. She survived, returning to America to reinvent herself again and again until her death in 1929.

Softcover. Condición: Very Good. Photographs and drawings Ilustrador. First Edition. Second copy with some rubbing of the corners of the front cover, no internal damage, no annotations. The author brings a sympathetic scrutiny to this extraordinary life story, reaching across the decades points of connection and understanding. May was born in post-famine in Ireland and died in the world of telephones, sports cars and movies, in 1929 just. Market crash. Is there a woman's experience they can share? An Irish woman's experience? An outsider's? In the hands of one of our most astute and gifted memoirist, this is not only a towel well told, but an enquiry into the telling of any life story, let alone of a woman who worked as a confidence trickster, thief, showgirl and, when times were bad as a prostitute, electrolysis much for her violence as for her diamond rings  paraphrasing with the rear panel this is the first softcover edition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. [10], 307, [3] pages. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Illustrator: Photographs and drawings. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
