Octavo, viii, 311 pages. In Very Good condition. Yellow covers with blue lettering and off-white spine. Covers show light shelving wear, with some bumping at the head of the spine. Some small scuffs on text block edges. Interior clean. Inscribed to Susan Sheehan by Sims on the title page: "November 18, 2001 / To Susan, / With admiration and appreciation for your friendship and for sharing 'Ain't No Middle Class' / Fondly, / Patsy". Additionally inscribed by dedicatee Robert Cashdollar on dedication page: "Susan-- / From a reader to a writer -- with best wishes-- / Bob Cashdollar". Shelved in Room F. Susan Sheehan's section begins on page 269, and incudes her story "Ain't No Middle Class", which first appeared in The New Yorker in 1995. Second Story Books is honored to offer this item from the personal collection of Neil and Susan Sheehan. Neil Sheehan (1936-2021) and Susan Sheehan (1937-2026) were a distinguished husband-and-wife team whose careers helped define American literary journalism in the second half of the twentieth century. Neil Sheehan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times, is best known for his role in bringing the Pentagon Papers to public attention and for his landmark book "A Bright Shining Lie", while Susan Sheehan built a parallel reputation as a leading voice at The New Yorker, crafting deeply reported narrative nonfiction on subjects ranging from mental health to social institutions, earning her own Pulitzer Prize in 1983. Their longstanding ties to major publications, particularly The New Yorker, placed them at the center of an influential cultural and intellectual network, and the books from their library carry added provenance through this close connection to the magazine's editorial and artistic community. 1413826.
