This collection of letters, culled from the HarperCollins archives, offers a unique glimpse into the brilliant correspondence that shaped some of the most iconic books of the 20th century. Through these letters, Leonard S. Marcus sheds light on the devotion and high-voltage intellect of an incomparably gifted editor, mentor, and publishing visionary.
