1st printing. 331 pp. [+ 30 pp. b/w photos]. Foreword, appendices, index.Genet. Beckett. Burroughs. Miller. Ionesco. Oe. Duras. Harold Pinter and Tom Stoppard. Hubert Selby Jr. and John Rechy. The legendary film I Am Curious (Yellow). The books that assaulted the fort of propriety that was the United States in the 1950s and '60s, Lady Chatterley's Lover and The Tropic of Cancer. The Evergreen Review. Victorian erotica. The Autobiography of Malcolm X. A bombing, a sit-in, and a near-fistfight with Norman Mailer. The common thread between these disparate elements, a number of which reshaped modern culture, was Barney Rosset. Rosset was the antidote to the trope of the ?gentleman publisher" personified by other pioneering figures of the industry such as Alfred A. Knopf, Bennett Cerf and James Laughlin. If Barney saw a crowd heading one way?he looked the other. If he knew something was forbidden, he regarded it as a plus. Unsurprisingly, financial ruin, along with the highs and lows of critical reception, marked his career. But his unswerving dedication to publishing what he wanted made him one of the most influential publishers ever. Rosset began work on his autobiography a decade before his death in 2012, and several publishers and a number of editors worked with him on the project. Now, at last, in his own words, we have a portrait of the man who reshaped how we think about language, literature, and sex. Here are the stories behind the filming of Norman Mailer's Maidstone and Samuel Beckett's Film; the battles with the US government over Tropic of Cancer and much else; the search for Che's diaries; his romance with the expressionist painter Joan Mitchell, and more. Trade paperback. Light shelfwear; some wrinkling to laminate on spine. Very Good.

Condition: Very good. - Typed letter filling one side of an approximately 11-inch high by 8-12 inch wide sheet of Charles Scribner's Sons letterhead. Signed "Burroughs Mitchell". The top left corner is creased & there is some very light staining to the blank space below the letter. Folded 5 times for mailing. Very good. Mitchell writes a respectful and considerate letter to historical fiction author John Hyde Preston, rejecting his novel "The Stations of Power": "This letter will bring you a very grave disappointment. It is a hard letter for me to write.Four editors besides myself had familiarized themselves with your novel.You know that I was impressed by 'The Stations of Power". I should try to tell you, I think, in what way my colleagues found it less impressive. For them, by and large, the characters were stated, written about, rather than realized. The characters did not become immediate and vivid and so the narrative was not absorbing."Burroughs Mitchell [d. 1979] began his career as as a pulp magazine editor. After serving in the navy in World War II, he decided he wanted to work in a more serious literary field. Since Charles Scribner's had published a book by his father, edited by the legendary Max Perkins, Mitchell went to see Perkins who hired him in 1946. He remained at Scribner's until his retirement in 1977, working with such authors as James Jones, C. P. Snow, Pamela Hansford Johnson and Robert Creeley. This excellent letter illustrates Mitchell's sustaining faith in the writers he worked with and his vision of the editor's role: "Editorial work does require imagination--the imagination to see the contours of a book with something close to the author's vision. The capacity to do that makes the editor a valuable ally for any writer.".
