This week, the New York Times carried an obituary of Doris Grumbach, who died on November 4, at the age of 104. The obituary states that Ms. Grumbach wrote six memoirs, published between 1991 and 2000. She had even by then many years to cover. The obituary also lists several novels.
Her long-time partner was a bookseller. I'm fairly sure that Ms. Grumbach owned a piece of a bookstore in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC, a store I looked into once more than forty years ago. How I would have known that she owned it, I can't say. I thought that she had reviewed books for The Washington Post in those days, but if so, the Times lumps the Post in with "many other publications."
