Description
“While at HBJ, Jovanovich edited Mary McCarthy, Diana Trilling, Charles A. Lindbergh, James Gould Cozzens, Milton Friedman, and Hannah Arendt, among others. But his friends and connections branched widely. Jovanovich’s memoir includes many encounters and relationships – some of them brief and contentious, many of them deep and enduring – with the likes of T. S. and Valerie Eliot, Marshall McLuhan, Groucho Marx, Jerzy Kosinski, Eugene McCarthy, Erich Maria Remarque, Dean Acheson, B. F. Skinner, and Robert Maxwell (whose attempt at a hostile takeover of HBJ was thwarted by Jovanovich at a cost that led to his withdrawal from the company three years later).”–BOOK JACKET.
