Pro Reviews: Letters from the Editor
[I]t's striking to experience firsthand Ross's famous curiosity: about the whisk brooms used by baseball umpires to sweep off home plate;...about the possibility of growing a small watermelon that would reach full size in a northern season...and about what exactly caused the deaths of people at Hiroshima....[H]e combined his virility with his fussiness, the qualities that made him so contradictory as well as the supremely great editor he became.
LETTERS FROM THE EDITOR should be read simply for pleasure, in which it abounds....[A]lmost every letter in the book's 418 pages contains...brusque and entertaining clarities--the Rossian nub--which makes this a read-aloud book, or read-across-the-room, sort of book....[A] refreshing and unironic anthology.
Publisher Notes: Letters from the Editor
- These revealing letters -- selected and introduced by Thomas Kunkel, author of a distinguished Ross biography -- tell the story of the birth of The New Yorker and its famous early years. Although he claimed he was not a writer, Ross spent hours at his typewriter each day, firing off letters to friends, such as E. B. White, Dorothy Parker, Truman Capote, Edmund Wilson, Ernest Hemingway, Noel Coward, and others. Filled with quintessential anecdotes, this collection is a portal into Ross's world and a chronicle of the formation of the most prestigious magazine in America.
