Pentimento: a Book of Portraits by Lillian Hellman

In this widely praised follow-up to her National Book Award-winning first volume of memoirs, An Unfinished Woman, the legendary playwright Lillian Hellman looks back at some of the people who, wittingly or unwittingly, exerted profound influence on her development as a woman and a writer. The portraits include Hellman's recollection of a lifelong friendship that began in childhood, reminiscences that formed the basis of the Academy Award-winning film Julia.

Lillian Hellman grew up in New Orleans and went to New York University and Columbia University for her education. She composed The Seeking Wind and Toys in the Attic, as well as collaborating on the text for a musical adaptation of Voltaire's Candide with Richard Wilbur. On June 30, 1984, she passed away.
