Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "That rare thing: a true underappreciated classic" (The New Yorker), about a smart and sensitive yet deeply troubled young woman fighting to live on her own terms "Provocative . . . Almost half a century after it was first published, The Princess of 72ndStreet sounds like a contemporary cry for freedom from the expectations of others."The Atlantic"Kraf's groovy, glimmering novel . . . deserves to be readnot for the nitty-gritty New York of it all but for her wry, confiding voice, which is funny, disarming and frequently ruthless."The New York TimesI am glad I have the radiance.

A single artist living alone on New York's Upper West Side in the 1970s, she periodically descends into episodes of what she calls "radiances." While under the influence of the radiance, she becomes Princess Esmeralda, and West 72nd Street becomes the kingdom over which she rules.

Provocative at the time of its publication in 1979 and thoroughly iconoclastic, The Princess of 72nd Street is a remarkable portrait of an unforgettable woman.…
