Review

If John Cheever's stories capture what he called "a long-lost world when the city of New York was still filled with a river light, when you heard the Benny Goodman quartets from a radio in the corner stationary store, and when almost everybody wore a hat," then Eleanor Lerman's are tales of a world just now slipping away but no less vivid the twilight world in the long aftermath of the counter-culture, when the Jewish children of the boroughs broke free of their parents' hard-won bourgeois propriety and embarked on the great American adventure of reinventing themselves. Her theme in these lyrical tales is not just the disenchantment of this world but the love and hope and hilarity that persist in its wake. The surprise is how like their parents these children eventually turned out to be--how witty, tough and moral, but also how oddly displaced in the mysterious world they created for themselves. Lerman writes beautifully, and she is an unerring guide. --Dan Akst

Long an admirer of Eleanor Lerman's brilliant poems, now I'm struck by the wry wit, sharpness, and surprise of her beautifully assured prose. Whether Lerman is conjuring Greenwich Village in the '60s, a dark road in present-day Woodstock, a Midwestern airport, or a rooftop in Manhattan's Diamond District, I'm drawn in by her world and its inhabitants. Equally attentive to the odd details of human behavior and the deep longings at their source, Lerman's stories make me want to go on reading, and leave me somehow hopeful. --Joan Larkin

Eleanor Lerman is a native New Yorker and unrepentant member of the Woodstock Nation. She has also been a guide in a Chinese museum, the manager of a harpsichord kit workshop, and a comedy writer. Connections between the humor of the human condition and the mysteries of infinity are the hallmark of her nearly forty-year-long writing career, for which she has received numerous awards including a National Book Award nomination, an NEA grant, the 2006 Lenore Marshall Poetry Award from the Academy of American Poets and a 2011 Guggenheim Fellowship. She is the author of six collections of poetry, two collections of short stories and several novels--most recently, Satellite Street (The Permanent Press, 2019).
