Inscribed by Smith to Susan Sheehan on front flyleaf: "To Susan, / This book would not have been written if you didn't decide to do a story about me for The New Yorker -- and for that you have my everlasting gratitude. / Best, / Dennis / February 11, 1972." Also includes a laid-in typed letter from the publisher, also addressed to Susan, which explains that they discovered Dennis through her article, that his book has played a role in creating a "growing interest and concern for firefighters", and that he would soon serve as an expert witness regarding major legislation about firefighters in congress. Shelved in Case 1 1/2. Dennis Smith - in addition to being the author of 16 books, the most notable of which is Report from Engine Co. 82 - was a New York City firefighter for 18 years, and was known for his advocacy on behalf of firefighters in the United States. This copy of Report from Engine Co. 82 is inscribed to Susan Sheehan, who wrote the article about him in The New Yorker that led to his being discovered by his publisher, acting as an early springboard for his writing career and activism. Her early impact on his career is referenced in the inscription and included letter. 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 (born 1937) 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. 1412835.
