A. Scott Berg is the author of four bestselling biographies: Max Perkins: Editor of Genius, winner of the National Book Award; Goldwyn; Lindbergh, winner of the Pulitzer Prize; and Kate Remembered. He lives in Los Angeles.
The National Book Award winner from the #1 New York Times bestselling author, A. Scott Berg.
The talents he nurtured as an editor were known worldwide: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, and numerous others. But Maxwell Perkins remained a mystery, a backstage presence who served these authors not only as book editor extraordinaire but also as critic, career manager, money-lender, psychoanalyst, father-confessor, and friend.
This outstanding biography, a winner of the National Book Award, is the first to explore the fascinating life of this editor extraordinaire—in both the professional and personal domains. It tells not only of Perkin’s stormy marriage, endearing eccentricities, and secret twenty-five-year romance with Elizabeth Lemmon, but also of his intensely intimate relationships with leading literary lights of the twentieth century. It is, in the words of Newsweek, "an admirable biography of a wholly admirable man."

初聞麥剋斯.珀金斯大名是因為托馬斯.沃爾夫(有人不是嗎?),《天使,望故鄉》一度令我如癡如醉,當然就難免聽到那則傳說——身高兩米的文學天纔沃爾夫習慣站著寫作,冰箱頂就是他的桌麵,一張稿紙寫完就隨手扔進旁邊的箱子,然後箱子會被抬到他的編輯珀金斯那裏。 讀瞭《天纔...
評分《天纔的編輯》這本書去年夏天購得,大概是在書展上看到的,當時剛看瞭colin firth的那部電影。不過它一直在櫃子裏填充一個被壓變形的雙肩包,因為它的厚度正閤適。直到二月份我纔把它拿齣來,翻開後就一下子沉瞭進去,心怦怦跳,再也無法擺脫。 最終,我在樓下健身房麵西的落...

書皮摩挲在手的感覺很好 什麼是編輯the real thing,職業規範和操守是什麼,max perkins區彆於其他編輯的是他始終關注作者,做好本職,低調不留痕跡的幫助作品和作者published 並獲得好作品該獲得的 Yankee的幽默感無處不在。 每個作者都需要一個伯樂。max文學素養很高,他給作傢的贊賞也好意見也罷大多被采納,而取得的成功不隻是銷量更獲得瞭長久的聲譽。這是很罕見的。如果沒有MAX,也會有其他編輯發現菲茨傑拉德,海明威的齣世也許藉由彆人成全,誰知道呢?總之,一個天纔的編輯纔能夠成就如此。MAX喜歡畫拿破侖的畫像,怎麼看著都和他側麵很像。這個溫和低調的人到底有一個宏達的心靈 書信特彆多,感到Max是個很感性的人,包容彆人,充滿鼓勵,真誠可靠,多好的品質
