Brendan Gill was an American writer and journalist who wrote for The New Yorker for over 60 years. In that time he wrote over 1200 pieces for the magazine serving as its film critic and architecture critic among other roles. Susan Sheehan was Gill's longtime colleague at The New Yorker and an accomplished writer in her own right. The items included here the vast majority of which are inscribed to Susan over a span of more than 60 years evidence the close and enduring relationship between the two journalists. All of these items were included in Sheehan's personal archive of Gill items which is referenced by Gill in this collection as her "Gill file" or "the Gill Archive". Second Story Books is honored to offer this item from the personal collection of Neil and Susan Sheehan. Neil Sheehan 1936-2021 and Susan Sheehan 1937-2026 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. 1413513.
