From the Back Cover
A New York Times Book Review Editors Choice
At the epicenter of literary New York, Menaker is an irreverent guide to the publishing world s inner workings . . . His own journey, compelled by his self-knowledge and sense of humor, elevates this memoir into more than witty chatter. Chicago Tribune
Impossible to resist. Jennifer Egan, author of A Visit from the Goon Squad
In these pages Daniel 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. But as time passes, 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.
Tender, smart and witty, this book is truly unputdownable. Real Simple
Energetic and exhilarating . . . [Menaker s] clever, fast-paced prose makes you stop and think and wonder. New York Times Book Review
At once jaunty and erudite . . . The writing simply shines. San Francisco Chronicle
