“Many writers, but perhaps not enough readers, know just how vital, creative and central a figure Ted Solotaroff has been in contemporary letters; as the most influential editor of his time, he shaped not only tastes, but the direction of American writing. These essays provide an insight into the genius of the editor. They reflect wise judgement and tough-minded individuality, enormously approachable prose weathered by the years and wide reading into a delightfully measured tone, a warm literary intelligence, a distinct authority you can immediately trust.”—Ian McEwan
