Max and Marjorie: The Correspondence between Maxwell E. Perkins and Marjorie Kinnan RawlBook Summary InformationEditor: RODGER L. TARREdition: Hardcover Audio: English (Original Language); English (Unknown); English (Published) Published: 1999-11-27 ISBN: 0813016916 Number of pages: 640 Publisher: University Press of Florida Book Reviews of Max and Marjorie: The Correspondence between Maxwell E. Perkins and Marjorie Kinnan RawlBook Review: MarvelousMax Perkins was the emperor of editors. I'm an editor myself (of textbooks), and Editor to Author, a collection of Perkins's letters to many of his writers, taught me how to deal with authors in order to get the best out of them. Two things about Max and Marjorie especially struck me. One was the difference between then and now in speed of communication. We'd never have these wonderful letters if Max and Marjorie had been using email or the telephone. The other was the insensitive attitude toward blacks. These were two educated and sensitive people. They didn't even realize what they were doing or saying. It seems horrible now. |
