You are invited to College of Saint Mary’s annual gathering of readers and people who like good books. Featured author Margalit Fox will discuss “The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum".
"The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum" paints a vivid portrait of Gilded Age New York—a city teeming with nefarious rogues, capitalist power brokers and Tammany Hall bigwigs, all straddling the line between underworld enterprise and “legitimate” commerce. Combining deep historical research with the narrative flair for which she is celebrated, Margalit Fox tells the unforgettable true story of a once-famous heroine whose life exemplifies America’s cherished rags-to-riches narrative while simultaneously upending it entirely.
Margalit Fox originally trained as a cellist and a linguist before pursuing journalism. As a senior writer in "The New York Times’s" obituary news department, she wrote the front-page public sendoffs of some of the leading cultural figures of our age. Winner of the William Saroyan Prize for Literature and author of four previous nonfiction books, "The Confidence Men", "Conan Doyle for the Defense", "The Riddle of the Labyrinth" and "Talking Hands", Fox lives in Manhattan with her husband.
