Initially, God created heaven and earth. But before doing this, he sat with the children in the bar and crushed exactly what he meant. The same is true, to a large extent, from Harold Wallace Rossbefore the New Yorker. until The first number It was published, on February 21, 1925, the magazine was without shape, and void; Darkness was deeply. However, Ross’s spirit, whose wife and participation helped him, Jane Grant, was busy. A bulletin for their next project appeared in the fall of 1924. It started with a strong statement: New Yorker It will be a reflection in the word and image of urban life. It will be human. ”Unlike birds?
It is clear that the plan is to spread the word, so that the magazine is under discussion before it enters. “It will be very attractive, homosexuals and information rich, so that it is an advantage over any library table.” These were the joyful hopes of Grant, who seemed trusted that any readers in the future, by defining it, had a house with a library. there the New Yorker It would wear, uninterrupted, along with the amazing whiskey player and cigars.
Grant’s memories are part of her notes, “Ross, New Yorker and I,“It was published in 1968. Note that there is no comma – not Oxford, that is, loved by this publication and is often despised elsewhere – before synchronization. One shames to think about how Ross, who divorced Grant in 1929, Who died in 1951It was a reaction to the echo. “Ross, New Yorker and I” is just one in a pile of books on him and behind him, William SeanWhich, as an editor of the magazine from 1952 to 1987, was a match with Ross in Quick management of the text. The entire stack can be crowned entitled “The Business for Diaristic Men”.
The magazine is now One hundred years: It is not a bad degree, although it is less than that of actress Eva Mary Saint, who reached her centenary last July. (What is more, given this the New Yorker No role in “North by Northwest” played, to what extent we really have to be busy?) There is no longer an attractive occasion for the backward view; What is noticeable is the number of GLANCERS already in the past decades. The book, editors, and the inhabitants of the various mosques; Nostalgia, acidic, and annoying beating. Those who seek to control the record straight and those who prefer that – all of this, at some point, have registered their talisman they remember New Yorker The papers are nourished in a book.

The list will include, in addition to Grant, James Thorber “Years with Ross,From 1957; Brendan Generation “Here in New Yorker(1975);On New Yorker and I((1979), by EJ Kahn, Son, in addition to great continuation,Year of Change: More about New Yorker and I(1988);Remember Mr. Sean New Yorker,“By Vid MihataIt was issued in 1998, as it did Lillian Ross “Here but not here“Renata Adler”gold(1999);The life of the concession, mostly((2003), by Gardner Botford; Alison RoseBetter than sane(2004); andLet me finish(2006), by Roger Angel– Or, as was the credit for His first piece of the magazineIn 1944, the corporal. Roger Angel. (Wonderful joke, the idea that it was ever a modest rank.) Janet Grothreceptionist(2012) brings the back elegantly.
It should also be mentioned from “”Thirsty((2016), by Robert GottliebThat was edited New Yorker From 1987 to 1992. It is true that among the nine chapters in the book, only one is devoted to the magazine; Gottlieb’s Labors is much more space in the publishing trade, in Simon & Schuster and KNOPF. However, the “thirsty reader” is, until now, the only notes by anyone who captured the ship in New Yorker. Harold Ross and William Sean did not write a book on being on the plane. (The only piece bearing the name Sean – or, at least, the first letters – on these pages were “The disaster,“Fast imagination, in 1936, when New York was demolished by Niz Which – which What you want.) Even if they tend to a large extent, they will not have time, so it was unusual on behalf of the magazine. Who wants to wander around the place, not to mention his remembrance, when there is a problem of closing?
What we have is the Eulogistic part of Sean on Ross, linked like science at the end of the Brendan generation book. It is a loyal and fair honor for a man, no matter how strange it is, the issue of fairness is silent, which took both pleasure and resort to the solid foundation of facts-to some extent that can be reliable more than the changing smell of ideas. Ross, Sean, says, “Tell me once, half seriously, he does not want to know what a writer belief“I say that the principle of sound is only better through the specified thing that Ross gave an assistant:” Don’t leave me alone with poets. “
Decline New YorkerIn 1993, I entered an unknown area, with only two book to show the road. One was Pauline KyleAnd that I never met, but in a folder of film reviews that I had often shattered, in fear, I am trying not to play myself for tingling. The problem was that Kyle’s work taught you a lot about moving images, and a little about Kyle, but very little about the magazine.
The other guides, “years with Ross”, were more educated, I do not say arduous. “The past of a man decreased, and his life began again, when he went to work for New YorkerThorber wrote. Not yet. Peter Arno The drawing first comment appeared in the magazine in the fall of 1925, and SJ Pearlman and Ogden Nash did not appear to the party up to five years. It has also been shown that Russian worship for accuracy did not extend to his spelling. The “importance” came out as “Signigifance”. Another surprise: Although Ross could be in a conversation, his cheek was easily bound by blush. He refused to visit Sainte-Chapelle, in Paris, because “stained glass is embarrassing”, and tied Thorber on his birthday, by sending dozens of red roses to New Yorker Offices. When Ross narrated, Thorber threatened to add a reading card, “in an eternal memory for those nights, Riviera.”
To my innocent ears, it was the whole thing, and it was kept, the classic Thurber Fable episode for himIf not for the historical record. Infectious also; It cannot be composed by the basic mechanisms of existence, if we are not careful, we forget what it looks like. However, what I took from the blow – not crying at all – in the magazine was the impression that there was nothing true in “years with Ross”. Was it distorted in seeing her topic? AWRY, perhaps, not to give credit as he was properly due? I never did mystery. In late 2003, it was amazing to find Gardner Botford, in the midst of his moderate memoirs other than a long extension like a New Yorker Editor, referring to the “terrible Thorber Book”.
I think the demand may be restored, by switching into a slightly lower version. She opened a generation “here in The New Yorker” and defended to discover that his arrival in the magazine, in 1938, was swinging like me. Gremlins had achieved the typewriter that was provided with it: “When one of them wrote,” always came out of “W.” Theo led to the effect of the wing on the Prowe. “It was more confusing what he called” the complete absence of any intimate incidents in the office. ” No one touched another person except by chance. “Fortunately, this is no longer the case in 1993. I didn’t overcome the arm of the corridors in his arm Joseph Mitchell and Harold BroadcastBut there were no obstacles to freedom of expression. The neglected gills, which still wandered in the corridors in the magazine, were more welcomed by Greenhorn.
