The Best of Marya Mannes by Mottley, Robert, (Editor) - 1986

New York:: Richardson & Steirman,, 1986.. Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. An anthology of Mannes writings published just a few years before her death, and edited by a close friend using guidelines that he had discussed over the years. She was known for her scapel-like prose when she saw injustice and her ridicule when she detected hypocrisy and these attitudes remain in this anthology. Divided into two sections - her writing as a reporter and as a commentator - this begins with her report from Florence, Italy in the summer of 1938 when Hitler met with Mussolini. Index of names. 253 pp.
