My Life Getting Down and Semi-dirty in Seventies New York

Lucking Out

Jeannette Ordas

Once I got over the snappy, clever writing, I got a wee bit bored with all the literati talk (probably speaks more about me than Wolcott's storytelling). But then there's a chunk about movies & Pauline Kael, punk rock before skittering over the ballet section. Not a great read, but still interesting and man, he can turn a phrase.
