from “Robert Caro Wonders What New York Is Going To Become”<\/a> — where caro talks about researching his book in the\u00a0 main branch of the New York Public Library and the other writers who worked there:<\/p>\n

There were other famous writers, like Barbara Tuchman<\/a> had been there, she had just left when I got there. And then there were a bunch of writers like me, who no one knew. Like, Susan Brownmiller, she wrote a book called Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape<\/a>, and it was groundbreaking. Susan had the next desk from me, and no one had ever heard of her either, and her editor wasn\u2019t returning her calls. We used to make a bet, whose editor would return our call first! [Laughs]<\/p>\n

She wore these socks with bright horizontal stripes, and she\u2019d stick them under this partial carrel, so they\u2019d be sticking under my desk, and when I was writing I\u2019d see them.
