Ann Beattie Correspondence
Collection contains two folders containing correspondence between Ann Beattie and Greg Gatenby between 1984 and 2005. The letters are both personal and professional in nature, as their writers discuss writing, the Harbourfront reading series and the Harbourfront reading festival (mentioning authors in attendance such as Margaret Atwood and J.K. Rowling), and their personal lives. It is clear from the letters that the two are friends. Most of the letters are typed (some are print-outs of emails), and Gatenby and Beattie also exchange photocopies of articles and typescripts of their own writing, including a bound draft of Mrs. Nixon by Ann Beattie.
Walks With Men
From bestselling author Ann Beattie comes an intense, knockout novella that perfectly captures a time and a place—New York in the '80s. It is 1980 in New York City, and Jane, a valedictorian fresh out of Harvard, strikes a deal with Neil, an intoxicating writer twenty years her senior. The two quickly become lovers, living together in a Chelsea brownstone, and Neil reveals the rules for a life well lived: If you take food home from a restaurant, don’t say it’s because you want leftovers for "the dog." Say that you want the bones for "a friend who does autopsies." If you can’t stand on your head (which is best), learn to do cartwheels. Have sex in airplane bathrooms. Wear only raincoats made in England. Neil’s certainties, Jane discovers, mask his deceptions. Her true education begins. "One of our era’s most vital masters of the short form" (The Washington Post), Beattie brilliantly captures a time, a place and a style of engagement. Her voice is original and iconic.
