Publishers’ Weekly says, “Old-school newspapering comes alive in this scintillating memoir. Anglo-American journalist Evans reminisces about his rise up the ladder of English newspapers to its pinnacle as editor of the Sunday Times and his late-career hop across the ocean to run Condé Nast Traveler and the publisher Random House. The author depicts British journalism as a more rugged affair than the American version; editor Evans dodges British laws that permit prior restraint of news stories by the government, gets sued by the Irish Republican Army and battles a thuggish printers&#8217; union that he hates even more than he does his boss, Rupert Murdoch. America presents its own unique hardships, including protracted discussions with Marlon Brando over acquiring his memoirs, during which the blowsy thespian accuses Evans of being a CIA agent. Evans creates a lively, evocative portrait of 20th-century journalism: the mad deadline pressure of the copy-desk, stocked with Dickensian characters; the epic investigative pieces that make reporting a kind of spy craft; the obsessive pull of editorial crusades against official wrongdoing. Written with self-deprecating humor and quiet conviction, this is a fine valedictory for a heroic style of journalism one hopes still has a future.”</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-rsvp-by"> <h3 class="field-label">RSVP by</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-contact-info"> <h3 class="field-label">Contact</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">sree.roy@bobit.com </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-cost"> <h3 class="field-label">Cost</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Free!</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-bookeditorfeature"> <h3 class="field-label">Book/Featured Editor</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Free!</div> </div> </div> Book Club book club Harold Evan My Paper Chase: True Stories of Vanished Times Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:51:49 -0700 Rachel 10277 at http://www.ed2010.com
