	Amazon.ca: Here But Not Here: a Love Story: Books: Lillian Ross (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Lillian Ross, one senses, felt impelled to reveal him as a man, flawed (he was the one who felt pathologically "here but not here"), and aching in his inability to express his personal truth in the novel he couldn't write.
		Lillian Ross has had a marvelous career; here is a book that lights up her work, and enlarges our sense of the woman behind it, a woman with spirited devotions.
		Lillian Ross has done what she has always been doing: she writes carefully of something she came to know, and does so with all the decency that is native to her, and with the hopes of making her peace with the truth.

	Memoir of an unofficial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		So begins Lillian Ross' occasionally affecting but ultimately unsatisfying memoir of her 40 years as the unofficial "wife" of William Shawn, the legendary New Yorker editor who died in 1992 at the age of 85.
		We know only that Cecille, a former reporter whom Ross charitably describes as "sensitive and likable and intelligent," was aware of the liaison but would not give Bill a divorce, and that he could not bear to abandon his family.
		Ross says he felt imprisoned by his job and wanted to leave many times but could not desert his troops.

	"Fabulous Fabulist " by Joshua Green
		Lillian Ross, a staff writer at The New Yorker for more than 50 years, first gained fame in 1950 for a profile she wrote of Ernest Hemingway.
		Ross penned what's considered to be the classic eyewitness account of Hemingway, in the course of it developing a lifelong friendship with the author.
		Ross was one of the earliest proponents of what's sometimes referred to as the "fly-on-the-wall" style of journalism (a term she disavows), minimizing her own role in a story and bringing subjects to life with an eye for the telling detail and an ear for dialogue--sort of a literary cinema vérité.

		Lillian Ross, a writer for the New Yorker, heads to Hollywood in 1950 to watch John Huston make his next picture, "The Red Badge of Courage" at MGM, and manages to capture a horrifying snapshot of the studio system at its worst during a difficult time of transition for the film industry.
		Lillian Ross has given movie fans and those with a serious interest in film an extraordinary book about the final days of the studio system--and shows exactly why it collapsed.

	'Here But Not Here: A Love Story' by Lillian Ross
		Ross remained in Hollywood for a year and a half and then spent three months in Europe.
		He never was well enough to go back to his residence with Ross, but they managed a few dinners in restaurants and continued their 40-year habit of speaking on the phone every morning and every night.
		In 1993, Lillian Ross returned to the magazine at the request of Tina Brown, the current editor, whom William Shawn had given his approval.

	R. Thomas Berner/ACES Book Reviews
		What makes this book "better" than Reporting is that it includes Ross’ analysis of her work, so we learn how the assignment came about (usually from an editor) and then how she tackled the assignment, which is useful information for rookies and professionals alike.
		Ross reveals nothing new about writing—in fact, she uses the unoriginal phrase "beginning, middle and end" to describe how she sees a story.
		Ross has much to share and I came away reinforced in my regard for her work.

	A Guarded Love: Lillian Ross and William Shawn
		EW YORK -- A the end of Lillian Ross' memoir of her 40 years as the other "wife" of William Shawn, the longtime editor of The New Yorker, she tells how she learned of his death in December 1992.
		Miss Ross writes that she and Erik then rushed to the Shawns' apartment, where they were met by the Shawns' son Wallace, who seemed afraid to admit them.
		In the book, Miss Ross describes Shawn, who was the editor of The New Yorker from 1951 to 1987, in terms that are positively saintly: He is selfless, honest, forgiving, meek "in the biblical sense." He tips taxi drivers twice the fare, turns down honorary degrees, never reproaches his children.

	My last visit with Miss Lillian Ross, an AFS pioneer: 5/29/03
		Miss Ross was just as interested in Cherry and her experiences as a teacher both here and in China as Cherry was in Miss Ross.
		Cherry asked Miss Ross many questions about her long career as a French teacher at New Bedford High, and it was thrilling to witness the hour-long conversation they had talking about different cultures.
		That afternoon, we were both touched by Miss Ross' clear memory of past events of her teaching career, of AFS and of her family.

		Ross (Here but Not Here) has written profiles and Talk of the Town pieces for the New Yorker for more than 50 years and in that time has built up an arsenal of journalistic techniques, which she shares here in some detail.
		Author Lillian Ross has been writing for the New Yorker for half a century, creating profiles and essays which have won her an audience of admirers.
		Lillian Ross's contributions to the Talk of the Town and to the full-length piece are estimable, but she was never one of great talents at the magazine.

	David Remnick Is the Greatest
		Lillian Ross gazes at her reportorial query with a sort of "tell me everything" ingenuousness that must have melted down many a reluctant source over the years.
		Of course, Ross is far too much a professional for a casual acquaintance or interview subject to make a definitive judgment either way -- so the subject generally just spills his guts and thanks Ross gratefully for the marvelous chat.
		Gazing at the audience, eyes flashing mischievous, Ross was asked how she felt about the 400 some Talk of the Town pieces she's written for the magazine over the last 60 years.

		Lillian graduated from Fortuna Union High School in 1925, and she went on to San Jose State to receive a B.A. in 1928.
		After his death in 1946, she spent a year at the University of California at Berkeley earning a master’s degree in library science, and then taught the fifth grade and was a school librarian at Lincoln School in Eureka until her retirement in 1972.
		Lillian asked that special thanks be given to the Cutten Care Home owners Suzanne and Kent Lende and their staff, especially Vickie Cathey, Mary Lou Bravo, and (lately) Sunni Walkenhauser and Marcie Johnson who “took such kind and loving care of me.” Thanks, too, go to her close friends Ellen Dusick and Judy Klapproth.

	Portfolio at NYU
		Ross is intensely private in both her life and her writing.
		Her detailed, studied approached can be seen in The Yellow Bus, one of the essays that comprises Reporting that chronicles a trip to New York by a busload of Mid-Western schoolchildren, while softly implying issues such as identity that are never explicitly handled.
		Extremely careful to guard details of her own life, Ross' link to The New Yorker was galvanized by a 40-year liaison to its legendary editor, William Shawn that concluded only with his death in 1992.

	BookPage Nonfiction Review: William Shawn Memoirs
		Ross, also a longtime New Yorker staff writer, delivers without apology the confessional tale of her over 40-year-long affair with the married Shawn.
		Ross covers similar historic ground, but laments more directly the loss of Shawn as a person.
		Ross's purpose is to make the reader see the real Shawn -- hopelessly in love, plagued by phobias, blocked in his own writing, and overwhelmed by his own invisibility as an editor and a human being.

		Shawn died in 1992 at the age of 85, leaving sons Allen, a composer married to former New Yorker writer Jamaica Kincaid, and Wallace, an actor and playwright.
		So Shawn shuttled between residences, eating nearly all his meals with Ross, checking in at home, rejoining Ross in time to watch the late news together, and then returning home to sleep next to a private phone on which he and Ross conversed.
		Ross, however, reveals a side of the man that resembles a Walter Mitty fantasy: a denizen of jazz joints, racetracks and classy restaurants.

		Longtime New Yorker writer Lillian Ross set out in 1950 "to learn whatever I might about the American motion-picture industry" as she states on the first page of this commanding portrait of movie making.
		Ross' declaration of intent is bound to seem a tad coy upon reaching the book's end, though.
		In addition to its educational benefits (Ross also provides a good lesson in how to unobtrusively insert oneself into a non-fiction narrative), Picture is a great read.

	The Talk of the Town
		Ross was one of the 27 writers who contributed testimonials to a splashy tribute Brown ran on Shawn in The New Yorker following his death.
		Not long afterward, Ross again began contributing to the magazine on a regular basis, eventually producing one of her most memorable pieces, “The Shit Kickers of Madison Avenue,” a “found” story in which she describes a group of teenage girls chatting among themselves in a restaurant one afternoon on Madison Avenue.
		What mystified many friends of Ross’s and Shawn’s was why Ross would go back to work for Newhouse when she had been so vocal in her opposition to almost everything he stood for at the time he bought The New Yorker.

		Of course, he and Ross shared their passion for words at work, a safe haven for the two of them, where they were not judged for their liaison.
		Ross (whose book PICTURE is the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at the making of a major motion picture) is remarkable in her ability to bring home the most romantic, the most moving, the most personal details of her life in a way that makes us all feel like we are her friends.

		For half a century, Lillian Ross has been writing remarkable and timeless journalism for The New Yorker.
		With panache, wit, and her own inimitable style, Lillian Ross discusses the questions of what makes a good reporter and what constitutes good journalism.
		Her years of practicing the art have provided her with much to say about these questions and nowhere is this in better evidence than in her own work-the pieces and profiles long recognized and admired for their freshness, originality, sharpness, humor, and truth.
