Unfinished Woman (Paperback, 1st Back Bay pbk. ed)

Caustic, brilliant, uncompromising, accomplished, Lillian Hellman, one writer noted, can "take the tops off bottles with her teeth." When, in her seventh decade, Hellman turned for the first time to autobiography, she had already achieved world renown as a playwright and lived much of her life in the limelight-which is perhaps why the intimate view of her world that she affords us in these pages seems so surprising. In scenes by turns biting and poignant, she recalls the New Orleans of her childhood; early adventures in book publishing; the high life in Depression-era Hollywood; travels through Russia, Spain, and Germany on the eve of World War II; encounters with Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Dorothy Parker; and her long relationship with her "most beloved friend," Dashiell Hammett.
