"Avid Reader" memoir by Robert Gottlieb, former Knopf editor and former editor of The New Yorker. Fascinating if you are a literary junkie. This guy was editor to so many heavy weights for Simon and Schuster, Knopf, and the magazine. He can't tell the story without dropping names continuously, so fair enough. Interestingly, this editor who read beyond vastly, is a somewhat chatty writer, and for an editor, is definitely a "put-er inner" rather than a spare writer, actually quite chatty, so this isn't a brisk read. But it's fun, if you know a little about American letters and the New York literary scene. The guy's likable, very human, and never saw the ivory tower much less lived there. He couldn't get into Harvard (quota on Jewish students at the time?) so he went to Columbia, which probably improved his perspective no end.
