Hardback. Condition: Good. Legendary editor Judith Jones, the woman behind some of the most important authors of the 20th century?including Julia Child, Anne Frank, Edna Lewis, John Updike, and Sylvia Plath?finally gets her due in this intimate biography. When twenty-five-year-old Judith Jones began working as a secretary at Doubleday?s Paris office in 1949, she spent most of her time wading through manuscripts in the slush pile and passing on projects?until one day, a book caught her eye. She read it in one sitting, then begged her boss to consider publishing it. A year later, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl became a bestseller. It was the start of a culture-defining career in publishing. During her more than fifty years as an editor at Knopf, Jones nurtured the careers of literary icons such as Sylvia Plath, Anne Tyler, and John Updike, and helped launched new genres and trends in literature. At the forefront of the cookbook revolution, she published the who?s who of food writing: Edna Lewis, M.F.K. Fisher, Claudia Roden, Madhur Jaffrey, James Beard, and, most famously, Julia Child. Through her quiet and tenacious work behind the scenes, Jones helped turn these authors into household names, changing cultural mores and expectations along the way. Judith?s work spanned decades of America?s most dramatic cultural change?from the end of World War II through the Cold War, from the civil rights movement to the fight for women?s equality?and the books she published acted as tools of quiet resistance. Now, her astonishing career is explored for the first time. Based on exclusive interviews, never-before-seen personal papers, and years of research, The Editor tells the riveting behind-the-scenes narrative of how stories are made, finally bringing to light the audacious life of one of our most influential tastemakers.…
