OverviewAn extraordinary tour through the literary life and world of one of the greatest post-war publishers Tom Maschler launched the careers of Thomas Pynchon, Joseph Heller, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Julian Barnes, Martin Amis, Ian McEwan and Bruce Chatwin -- among others. His name now almost synonymous with the Cape imprint, Maschler is a renowned and respected publisher; his memoir, illustrated throughout, and reproducing letters from authors as diverse as Roald Dahl and Doris Lessing, offers a rare glimpse into an even rarer world: one of a passionate, driven man, determined to make his mark on that self-same world. From the party where Norman Mailer stabbed his wife, to the porch where Ernest Hemingway shot himself, this is a frank, first-hand account of the authors, agents and egos, the back-stabbing and dodgy deals, the successes and the enduring friendships formed in the golden days of British publishing Full Product DetailsAuthor: Tom MaschlerPublisher: Pan Macmillan Imprint: Picador Dimensions: Width: 15.30cm , Height: 3.00cm , Length: 23.40cm Weight: 0.603kg ISBN: 9780330484206ISBN 10: 0330484206 Pages: 208 Publication Date: 18 March 2005 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Out of Print Availability: In Print  Limited stock is available.
