HC. Condition: Sehr gut. 2. 256 S. Der erste Polly-Adler-Roman: "kir royal" mit Wiener Schmäh Polly läuft und zwar aus dem Ruder. Trotz Basislager beim Paartherapeuten will sich ihr Mann Max plötzlich unerhörterweise selbst verwirklichen und zwar so ganz ohne Polly. Die Tochter Resi pubertiert bis zum Anschlag und behandelt ihre… Mutter wie eine lästige Stalkerin. Und als Reporterin an der Society-Front beißt sich Polly an einer durchgeknallten Aristo-Mischpoche die Zähne aus. Ja, und irgendwo gibt es noch einen Pleite-Bankier, der Polly entführt, um irgendwie zu überleben. In jedem Fall ist Pollys Leben actionreich und sauanstrengend. Deine Venus ist im Koma!, kann da ihre astrologieverseuchte Freundin Gerti nur immer wieder feststellen. Jetzt wird Österreichs Kultkolumnistin Polly Adler endlich zur Romanheldin, in deren Stöckelschuhen man keinesfalls stecken möchte. Aber ihr dabei zuzusehen, wie sie auf dem schmalen Grat zwischen Komik und Tragik balanciert, ist das blanke Vergnügen. Und eine erzählerische Tour de force, in der die Society-Pappnasen der Republik bis zur Kenntlichkeit entstellt werden. B444-103 9783850027571 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 437.

Paperback. Condition: New. Polly Adler's ""house"" - the brothel that gave this best-selling 1953 autobiography its title - was a major site of New York City underworld activity from the 1920s through the 1940s. Adler's notorious Lexington Avenue house of prostitution functioned as a sort of social club for New York's gangsters…and a variety of other celebrities, including Robert Benchley and his friend Dorothy Parker. According to one New York tabloid, it made Adler's name ""synonymous with sin."" This new edition of Adler's autobiography brings back into print a book that was a mass phenomenon, in both hardback and paperback, when it was first published. A self-consciously literary work, ""A House Is Not a Home"" provides an informal social history of immigrant mobility, prostitution, Jewish life in New York, police dishonesty, the ""white slavery"" scare of the early twentieth century, and political corruption. Adler's story fills an important gap in the history of immigrant life, urban experience, and organized crime in New York City. While most other accounts of the New York underworld focus on the lives of men, from Herbert Asbury's ""Gangs of New York"" through more recent works on Jewish and Italian gangsters, this book brings women's lives and problems to the forefront. ""A House Is Not a Home"" is compellingly readable and was popular enough to draw Hollywood's attention in the early 1960s - leading to a film starring Shelley Winters as Adler. The book has been largely forgotten in the ensuing decades, lost both to its initial audience of general readers and to scholars in women's studies, immigration history, and autobiography who are likely to find it a treasure trove. Now, with a new introduction by Rachel Rubin that contextualizes Adler's life and literary achievement, ""A House Is Not a Home"" is again available to the many readers who have come to understand such ""marginal"" life stories as a special refraction of the more typical American success narrative.
