Throughout her life, Diana Trilling (1905-1996) wrote about
profound social changes with candor and wisdom, first for The
Nation and later for Partisan Review, Harpers, and such popular
magazines as Vogue and McCalls. She went on to publish five books,
including the best-selling Mrs. Harris: The Death of the Scarsdale
Diet Doctor, written when she was in her late seventies. She was
also one half of one of the most famous intellectual couples in the
United States. Diana Trilling's life with Columbia University
professor and literary critic Lionel Trilling was filled with
secrets, struggles, and betrayals, and she endured what she called
her "own private hell" as she fought to reconcile competing duties
and impulses at home and at work. She was a feminist, yet she
insisted that women's liberation created unnecessary friction with
men, asserting that her career ambitions should be on equal footing
with caring for her child and supporting her husband. She
fearlessly expressed sensitive, controversial, and moral views, and
fought publicly with Lillian Hellman, among other celebrated
writers and intellectuals, over politics. Diana Trilling was an
anticommunist liberal, a position often misunderstood, especially
by her literary and university friends. And finally, she was among
the "New Journalists" who transformed writing and reporting in the
1960s, making her nonfiction as imaginative in style and scope as a
novel. The first biographer to mine Diana Trilling's extensive
archives, Natalie Robins tells a previously undisclosed history of
an essential member of New York City culture at a time of dynamic
change and intellectual relevance.
