The Princess of 72nd Street by Elaine Kraf raincoast Assuming her isolation to beA provocative and thoroughly feminist cult classic (The New Yorker) about a smart, sensitive, yet deeply troubled young woman fighting to live on her own terms. Ellen has two lives. A single artist living alone on New Yorks Upper West Side in the 1970s, she periodically descends into episodes she describes as radiances. While under the influence of the radiance, she becomes Princess Esmeralda, and West 72nd Street the kingdom over which she rules.
