A lively and intimate biography of trailblazing and era-defining New Yorker editor Katharine S. White, who helped build the magazine’s prestigious legacy and transform the 20th century literary landscape for women.

In the summer of 1925, Katharine Sergeant Angell White walked into The New Yorker’s midtown office and left with a job as an editor. The magazine was only a few months old. Over the next thirty-six years, White would transform the publication into a literary powerhouse.

This exquisite biography brings to life the remarkable relationships White fostered with her writers and how these relationships nurtured an astonishing array of literary talent. She edited a young John Updike, to whom she sent seventeen rejections before a single acceptance, as well as Vladimir Nabokov, with whom she fought incessantly, urging that he drop needlessly obscure, confusing words.

White’s biggest contribution, however, was her cultivation of women writers whose careers were made at The New Yorker—Janet Flanner, Mary McCarthy, Elizabeth Bishop, Jean Stafford, Nadine Gordimer, Elizabeth Taylor, Emily Hahn, Kay Boyle, and more. She cleared their mental and financial obstacles, introduced them to each other, and helped them create now classic stories and essays. She propelled these women to great literary heights and, in the process, reinvented the role of the editor, transforming the relationship to be not just a way to improve a writer’s work but also their life.

Based on years of scrupulous research, acclaimed author Amy Reading creates a rare and deeply intimate portrait of a prolific editor—through both her incredible tenure at The New Yorker, and her famous marriage to E.B. White—and reveals how she transformed our understanding of literary culture and community.

2024 |英文| 1328595919 | EPUB | 592页| 24 MB一本生动而亲密的传记，讲述了开拓性和划时代的《纽约客》编辑凯瑟琳·S·怀特，她帮助建立了该杂志的著名遗产，改变了20世纪女性的文学格局。 1925年夏天，凯瑟琳·安吉尔·怀特中士走进《纽约客》市中心的办公室，带着编辑的工作离开了。这本杂志只有几个月的历史。在接下来的36年里，怀特将该出版物转变为文学强国。 这本精致的传记生动地展现了怀特与她的作家之间建立的非凡关系，以及这些关系如何培养出惊人的文学才华。她编辑了一位年轻的约翰·厄普代克（John Updike）和弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫（Vladimir Nabokov），前者在一次接受之前被她拒绝了17次，后者则与她不断斗争，敦促他放弃不必要的晦涩难懂的词语。 然而，怀特最大的贡献是她培养了在《纽约客》工作的女性作家——珍妮特·弗兰纳、玛丽·麦卡锡、伊丽莎白·毕晓普、让·斯塔福德、纳丁·戈迪默、伊丽莎白·泰勒、艾米丽·哈恩、凯·博伊尔等等。她清除了他们的精神和经济障碍，把他们介绍给了对方，并帮助他们创作了现在经典的故事和散文。她将这些女性推向了文学的高峰，并在此过程中重塑了编辑的角色，将这种关系转变为不仅是改善作家作品的一种方式，也是改善她们生活的一种方法。 基于多年的严谨研究，著名作家艾米·雷丁（Amy Reading）通过她在《纽约客》（The New Yorker）令人难以置信的任期以及她与E.B.怀特（E.B.White）的著名婚姻，为一位多产的编辑创作了一幅罕见而亲密的肖像，并揭示了她如何改变了我们对文学文化和社区的理解。
