Description

Robert Gottlieb's memoir is a spirited and revealing account of his life as an editor. After stumbles into a job at Simon and Schuster, he rose to become the editor in chief, discovering and editing numerous bestselling authors. Gottlieb recounts his experiences running America's preeminent magazine, The New Yorker, and the challenges and satisfactions that came with it. He also shares stories about his lifelong involvement with dance, as well as his friendships and collaborations with notable figures from the world of publishing and beyond. This memoir is not just a career retrospective, but a exploration of the alchemical relationship between writer and editor, and the exhilaration of work itself.
