Daniel Menaker started as a fact checker at "The New Yorker" in
1969. With luck, hard work, and the support of William Maxwell, he
was eventually promoted to editor. Never beloved by William Shawn,
he was advised early on to find a position elsewhere; he stayed for
another twenty-four years.
Now Menaker brings us a "ruefully funny insider's tour of the
publishing world" (Vogue.com). Haunted by a self-doubt sharpened by
his role in his brother's unexpected death, he offers wry,
hilarious observations on publishing, child-rearing, parent-losing,
and the writing life. In a memoir full of stories "not to be
missed" (NPR.org), we witness a moving, thoughtful meditation on
years well lived, well read, and well spent. Full of mistakes,
perhaps. But full of effort, full of accomplishment, full of
life.
