- Summary
- "Renata Adler went to work at The New Yorker in 1963 and immediately became part of the circle close to editor William Shawn, a man so mysterious that no two biographies of him seem to be about the same person. Now Adler offers her take on the man - and the myth that is The New Yorker - disputing recent memoirs by Lillian Ross and Ved Mehta along the way."--BOOK JACKET.
- "Adler re-creates thirty years in its history and depicts Shawn as a man of robust common sense, amazing industry, and editorial genius, who nurtured innumerable major talents (and egos) to produce a magazine that was - and remains - unique. Her ensemble cast - all involved in legendary friendships, feuds, and love affairs - includes Edmund Wilson, S. N. Behrman, Brendan Gill, Calvin Trillin, Dwight MacDonald, Donald Barthelme, Hannah Arendt, Pauline Kael, S. I.
- Newhouse, Robert Gottlieb, Tina Brown, and practically everyone of note in and around The New Yorker."--BOOK JACKET. "Above and beyond the fascinating literary anecdotes, however, Adler's is a striking narrative that follows the weakening of Shawn's hold over the magazine he loved, his reluctant attempts to find a successor, and the coup by which he was ultimately overthrown."--BOOK JACKET.
