SPITZER, MARIAN I took it lying down.
New York Random House 1951 Hard Cover
247 pages, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. From the dj, 'This is the story of an impatient, dynamic career woman with a husband, two children, a multiplicity of jobs and a gift for self-expresion, who discovered that she had tuberculosis. How she reeled under the initial shock; how she rebelled against the humiliations of invalidism and teh deadly routine of the sick room; how she tried to fool herself and cheat the doctor; how she dreamed of suicide; how, at the last moment she learned to cooperate; how she slowly recovered, then had a tragic relapse; how at last she fought through to final victory; all this is told so vividly and with such drama that the reader follows it with the absorption of an adventure story - as indeed it is; an adventure of life or death. . . Marian Spitzer, whose articles and stories have appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Redbook, McCall's, and The Ladies Home Journal, began her writing career on newspapers in Brooklyn and New York. After a hitch on Variety, she went to Hollywood, where she has served variously as Story Editor, Assistant Producer and writer of screen plays for Paramount, 20th Century-Fox and Warner Brothers. She has written several radio shows including Big Town, Manhattan at Midnight, and Mr. and Mrs. North.
