Neil Sheehan 1936-2021 and Susan Sheehan born 1937 were a distinguished husband-and-wife team whose careers helped define American literary journalism in the second half of the twentieth century. Neil Sheehan a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times is best known for his role in bringing the Pentagon Papers to public attention and for his landmark book "A Bright Shining Lie" while Susan Sheehan built a parallel reputation as a leading voice at The New Yorker crafting deeply reported narrative nonfiction on subjects ranging from mental health to social institutions earning her own Pulitzer Prize in 1983. Their longstanding ties to major publications particularly The New Yorker placed them at the center of an influential cultural and intellectual network and the books from their library carry added provenance through this close connection to the magazine's editorial and artistic community. 1413067.
