Summary:
Dispatches from the Gilded Age is a collection of essays by Julia Reed, one of Americas greatest chroniclers.
In the middle of the night on March eleventh, 1980, the phone rang in Julia Reeds Georgetown dorm. It was her boss at Newsweek, where she was an intern. He told her to get in her car and drive to her alma mater, the Madeira School. Her former headmistress, Jean Harris, had just shot Dr. Herman Tarnower, The Scarsdale Diet Doctor. Julia didnt flinch. She dressed, drove to Madeira, got the storyand her first bylineand the new American Gilded Age was off and running.
The end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first was a time in which the high and the low bubbled furiously together and Julia was there with her sharp eye, keen wit, and uproariously clear-eyed way of seeing the world to chronicle this truly spectacular era. Dispatches from the Gilded Age is Julia at her best as she profiles Andre Leon Talley, Sister Helen Prejean, President George and Laura Bush, Madeleine Albright, and others. Listeners will travel to Africa and Cuba with Julia, dine at Le Bernardin, savor steaks at Does Eat Place, consider the fashions of the day, get the recipes for her hot cheese olives and end up with the ride of their lives through Julias beloved South.
With a foreword by Roy Blount, Jr. and edited by Julias longtime assistant, Everett Bexley.
