After the Tall Timber

An intelligent and exhilarating volume of collected non-fiction from the fearless literary icon Renata Adler

'Nobody writes better prose than Renata Adler' John Leonard, Harper's

For decades Renata Adler - acclaimed author of Speedboat and Pitch Dark - has pursued a single urgent question: What is really going on here?

As a staff writer at the New Yorker from 1963 to 2001, Adler reported on the defining political and social events of the time, from civil rights in Alabama to the wars in Biafra and Vietnam; from the Watergate scandal to the Clinton impeachment inquiry. She wrote brilliantly too about films (as chief film critic for the New York Times), books, television and pop music. In every essay, Adler captures the cultural zeitgeist, distrusts the accepted wisdom and writes stories that would otherwise go untold.

After the Tall Timber brings together twenty of Adler's essays - including previously uncollected work - to showcase her non-fiction at its very best.
