From the Publisher:
The selection of the captivating journalism from the pioneering author of "Gone With the Wind" is published in celebration of Mitchell's 100th birthday. Among the highlights are:
From the Author:
Mitchell's first professional writing assignment--an interview with an Atlanta socialite whose couture-buying trip to Italy was interrupted by the Fascist takeover.
conversations of the flapper-era famous and infamous, including matinee idol Rudolph Valentino, and Harry K. Thaw, convicted murderer of high-society architect Stanford White.
a jailhouse interview with a DeKalb County, Georgia, convict who made articifical flowers from scraps and sold them from his cell to support his family.
the concerns of the Jazz Age beauty: can bobbed-hair girls be good?; will Atlanta women ever go for the knickerbocker?; which college boys have mastered the newest dance steps and slang?
a rollicking account of Georgia debutantes afoot in Eygpt as King Tutankhamen's tomb is explored.
a sketch of a ten-year-old's poignant visit to the governor of Georgia appealing for a pardon for her mother, a "lifer" at the state prison farm.
profiles of prominent Georgia Civil War generals, the research for which, scholars believe, led her to her work on "Gone With the Wind."
chronicles of the youth rebellion of the 1920s which resulted in the advent of "the New Woman."
It was a pleasure to edit this collection of Mitchell's journalism and to publish this exciting book in celebration of the centennial anniversary of Mitchell's birth. I hope it will lead to a more complete understanding of Mitchell's talents and literary aims.--Patrick Allen, editor
