It's the Jazz Age, with romance and booze aplenty--even when Prohibition kicks in--and Mazie never turns down a night on the town. But her high spirits mask a childhood rooted in poverty, and her diary, always close at hand, holds her dearest secrets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen the Great Depression hits, Mazie's life is on the brink of transformation. Addicts and bums roam the Bowery; homelessness is rampant. If Mazie won't help them, then who? When she opens the doors of The Venice to those in need, this ticket taking, fun-time girl becomes the beating heart of the Lower East Side, and in defining one neighborhood helps define the city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen, more than ninety years after Mazie began her diary, it's discovered by a documentarian in search of a good story. Who was Mazie Phillips, really? A chorus of voices from the past and present fill in some of the mysterious blanks of her adventurous life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by the life of a woman who was profiled in Joseph Mitchell's classic \u003ci\u003eUp in the Old Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSaint Mazie\u003c\/i\u003e is infused with Jami Attenberg's signature wit, bravery, and heart.
