0 - Default Title
Description
In the 1960 novel The Intimate Ones, Bonnie Golightly delves into the slowly unraveling lives of three young New York City grifters with biting humor, deep insight, and striking empathy, particularly for the societal cruelty toward young women. Golightly is an antecedent of such contemporary novelists as Ottessa Moshfegh and Halle Butler.
This edition of The Intimate Ones contains a rare profile of Bonnie Golightly based in part on an extensive interview conducted with her shortly before her death.
Bonnie Golightly (1919-1998) grew up in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and moved to New York's Greenwich Village in the 1950s, where she owned a used bookstore and lived among a group of artists and writers. Golightly published twenty books, including the novels The Wild One, Beat Girl, and The Integration of Maybelle Brown; movie novelizations, some under pseudonyms; and books about the paranormal and sexuality. She is famous for claiming, in a failed lawsuit, that Truman Capote based the character of Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's on her.
