As we all know, The Right Address, by Jill Kargman and Carrie Karasyov, novelizes (is that a word?) real details from the uptown society circuit.

After careful research, inside please find our experts' best guesses of the identities obscured in the book. Your corrections and additions happily considered.

One of the authors, Jill Kargman, went to Yale with W editor Rob Haskell. So when the book mentions a W editor getting a cashmere sweater every time he runs a photo of a certain social, some people are saying, fairly or not, that it's Haskell and Tory Burch. [UPDATE: Our sources rule out Tory for a socialite we'd be happy to name here, but she has a damn overzealous lawyer, God bless her.]

[UPDATE UPDATE: Mr. Haskell would like to say that "I have never received a cashmere sweater, or a sweater of any kind, or any cashmere articles, from Tory Burch. (I do, however, love cashmere and Tory Burch.) Says Tory, with whom I'm on the phone right now: 'You little jerk!'"]

The would-be social climber who goes to all the newstands, buying up the bad article on herself, could be based on Audrey Gruss. She's married to Martin Gruss, the father of Josh Gruss, who is married to Shoshanna Lonstein, the ex of Jerry Seinfeld. [UPDATE: And, Josh and Jill Kargman went to boarding school together. Mmm hmm.] Audrey was profiled a few years ago in, you guessed it, W, by James Reginato, and was quoted saying her office was the fanciest, that socialites Nan Kempner and Blaine Trump work out of a phone booth! Just like in the book, we heard that she did drive around with her car and driver to buy all the copies of W.

The character who tries to commit suicide by holding a bag over their head is a NYC plastic surgeon who will remain nameless. He went through a rough spell about three years ago, it was briefly in the press, then hushed up. He is now fine and divorced from his high-profile blonde wife. She was, apparently, having an affair last year with a Latin mogul. People are shocked that Kargman uses this, because it's really asking for trouble.

The protagonist, the social-climbing former stewardess, is surely a composite character.

[UPDATE: Obviously, Susan Gutfreund, wife of former Salomon Brothers CEO John, started out as a stewardess. Duh us. We totally missed that.] We think it's a combo of former corporate raider Saul Steinberg's wife Gayfryd Steinberg, and Sotheby's Chairman Alfred Taubman's wife Judy Taubman (a former Miss Israel), and home design enthusiast Carolyne Roehm (who was Henry Kravis' first wife).

Also, as for the social climber's husband, he might be a little bit of investment banker Charles Stevenson, who lives in 740 Park Avenue (the address to which the title refers) and is head of the coop board. He was married last to an aerobics instructor he met in Vegas... and his current wife is Alex Kuczynski, the NYT style section writer.

Everyone knows that Kargman's [REDACTED] is [REDACTED] of [REDACTED], but her [REDACTED], is the [REDACTED] of the stuffy, right-wing [REDACTED], and this book is seen as [REDACTED]; relatedly or not, [REDACTED] is actually leaving as [REDACTED] this month.

The other oddity: Kargman will be chair of the NYC Ballet Gala in June. Pretty funny, right after she publishes a book slamming benefit society.
