A Likely Story: One Summer With Lillian Hellman
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Doubleday Books
- Publish date: 11/03/1998
Description:
In 1978, Rosemary Mahoney, an aspiring young writer of seventeen, wrote her personal idol Lillian Hellman inquiring whether the famed woman of American letters might need domestic help for the summer. When Hellman responded affirmatively, Mahoney imagined an idyll on Martha's Vineyard of mentoring and friendship. But in reality, Mahoney's summer unfolded into an exquisite and grueling exercise in humiliation at the hands of the acerbic Hellman and her retinue of celebrated acquaintances. By turns heartbreaking and uproariously funny, A Likely Story portrays the coming-of-age of a brilliant and troubled young woman -- a universal tale of shattered illusions and an object lesson in the often misdirected search for heroes.
