pattyedits's review against another edition
3.0
The New Yorker has informed much of my life. My family had a subscription back in the 1960s and it remained my favorite periodical for decades. Here, Vinciguerra gives dimension to the men I read as a child (E.B. White), as a teen (Thurber), and again as an adult using White (and Strunk's)Elements of Style in my career as an editor.
Skillfully narrated, the book exposes the human beings behind the typewriters, for better or for worse, and reminds the listener that creative genius isn't easy, especially when one is wrestling with one's own psychological and physical demons.
