Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A smart and hilarious memoir of privilege and excess told by the son of a powerful, seductive member of the New York elite. Ben Sonnenberg grew up in the great house on Gramercy Park in New York City that his father, the inventor of modern public relations and the owner of a fine collection of art, built to celebrate his rise from the poverty of the Jewish Lower East Side to a life of riches and power. His son could have what he wanted, except perhaps what he wanted most: to get away. Lost Property, a book of memoirs and confessions, is a tale of youthful riot and rebellion. Sonnenberg recounts his aesthetic, sexual, and political education, and a sometimes absurd flight into "anarchy and sabotage," in which he reports to both the CIA and East German intelligence during the Cold War and, cultivating a dandy's nonchalance, pursues a life of sexual adventure in 1960s London and New York. The cast of characters includes Orson Welles, Glenn Gould, and Sylvia Plath; among the subjects are marriage, children, infidelity, debt, divorce, literature, and multiple sclerosis. The end is surprisingly happy.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Peak inside one of New York City's grandest homes--that of Benjamin Sonnenberg, Sr., the inventor of modern public relations--in this smart and hilarious memoir of privilege and excess, told by the son of a powerful and seductive man. Lost Property is a book of memoirs and confessions. The memoirs are of 19 Gramercy Park, once described by The New Yorker as the greatest house.in private hands in New York. Much like an ocean liner, it was commanded by the author's immensely powerful and seductive father, Benjamin Sonnenberg, Sr., the man said to have invented the modern business of public relations. The memoirs are also of a son's aesthetic, sexual, and political education, as he both rejects his father's influence and strives to be his equal. The confessions in Lost Property are of Ben Sonnenberg's sometimes absurd flight into anarchy and sabotage; of an infidel life in sex and politics, in Europe during the Cold War (at one point he was reporting to both the CIA and East German Intelligence) and in New York City in the late sixties. Lost Property is also about marriage, children, debt, divorce and multiple sclerosis. A savage comedy, Lost Property is deepened by reflections upon class, culture, and illness. At last, writes James Salter, a defiant life that does not end in bathos, drugs, or stacks of old newspapers, one that draws its distinction from, and ends up as, art.…
