Artículos relacionados a Life of Privilege, Mostly
Gardner Botsford grew up in a Manhattan town house under the benign eye of five live-in servants, a charming and cultivated stepfather, and a mother whose beauty and wit attracted admirers ranging from the statesman Averell Harriman, to comic genius Harpo Marx. Botsford attended Yale, summered in France and on Long Island, married a popular and attractive girl and won an enviable job as a reporter on "The New Yorker" - and then, in 1942, his life of privilege was rudely interrupted. Drafted into the infantry, he trained as an officer and on D-day landed with the First Infantry Division on Omaha Beach in Normandy. He went on to witness the liberation on Paris (by going AWOL) and to fight in the Battle of the Bulge. Back at "The New Yorker", Botsford was made an editor, a position he would hold until his retirement in 1982. "A Life of Privilege, Mostly" concludes with a series of memorable vignettes about life on the magazine and about such New Yorker ornaments as A. J. Liebling, Maeve Brennan, and William Shawn, Botsford's long-time friend, mentor, boss, and, at the last, adversary.

Críticas:
"'A wonderful mixture of high comedy and tense conflict, in war and at The New Yorker. I loved it' Anthony Lewis, Purlitzer Prize winner and columnist 'Gardner Botsford's memoir is a New Yorkers life that is also a portrait of New York in its best years... An elegant, witty, touching book' Samuel Hynes, author of Flights of Passage and War Imagined 'A reader's dream: a book without a dull moment... Gardner Botsford's vigorous and charming High American prose never flags. If we cannot all live such an interesting life, at least we have the pleasure of reading one' Earl Shorris, author of New American Blues and contributing editor at Harper's"
