During her tenure at The New Yorker from 1968 to 1991, she was the most widely read and, often enough, the most provocative critic in America. In this first full-length biography of the legend who changed the face of film criticism, acclaimed author Brian Kellow (author of Can I Go Now?: The Life of Sue Mengers, Hollywoods First Superagent) gives readers a richly detailed view of Kaels remarkable life—from her youth in rural California to her early struggles to establish her writing career to her peak years at The New Yorker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47966375215349,"sku":"BRWH-0143122207","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/61kQsFhgNUL_b67993bb-e59d-4024-9880-0f2e3139fd4d.jpg?v=1775739826","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/pauline-kael-a-life-in-the-dark","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
