Trespassing Subseries

Scope and content:

The Trespassing Subseries spans the years 1995-1998and includes items which serve to document the writing, revision, and publication process for Parker's memoir Trespassing: My Sojourn in the Halls of Privilege. The memoir focuses on her youth, college education, brief career as a tax lawyer with a Wall Street firm, and career with American Express. Included in this subseries is a 1998chronology of the writing of Trespassing, several early drafts of the memoir under its working title Slim Brown Face at the Table, promotional photos and other materials, and manuscripts with notes and revisions by both Parker and her editors at Houghton Mifflin. Also included is a substantial amount of notes and research, chiefly clippings, related to work. Following the 1998chronology, the subseries is arranged chronologically with the undated research files gathered at the end of the subseries.
