Vanity Fair’s How a Book is Born: The Making of The Art of Fielding

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (21640 ratings)

Description:The highly anticipated novel The Art of Fielding, by Chad Harbach, has just been published. But what is the riveting story behind the story--and what does it take to make a bestseller these days? As author and n+1 co-founder Keith Gessen reveals in this 17,000-word e-book (expanded from the article appearing in the October issue of Vanity Fair), the passage from MFA classroom to national book tour is its own treacherous, absorbing--and wildly unpredictable--adventure. Harbach, Gessen's friend and colleague, was a struggling writer who toiled relentlessly for ten years on The Art of Fielding, before it eventually hauled in a $650,000 advance. At each step of the way several vivid characters fought tooth and nail to ensure the book's survival, including Chris Parris-Lamb, Harbach's passionate young agent; Michael Pietsch, a renowned editor at the publishing house Little, Brown; and Keith Hayes, the book's tireless designer. In this e-book of sweeping scope and fascinating, behind-the-scenes detail, Gessen pulls back the curtain on the insular, fiercely political, and cutthroat literary world of Manhattan--a place where the 'Big Six' publishing houses, owned by multinational conglomerates, reign supreme, while smaller houses are left to fend for themselves. Gessen exposes the modern-day book business for what it is: a largely uncertain enterprise--but rife with courageous, enthusiastic individuals--struggling to redefine itself in the face of its own digital revolution.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
