One of Vogues Best Books of the YearOne of Esquires Best Books of the YearOne of the Wall Street Journals Favorite Books of the YearOne of the Most Anticipated Books of the Year: Vogue, Parade, Esquire, Bitch, and MacleansA New York Times and Washington Post Book to WatchA fiercely personal memoir about coming of age in the maledominated literary world of the nineties, becoming the first female literary editor of Esquire, and Miller's personal and working relationship with David Foster WallaceA naive and idealistic twentytwoyearold from the Midwest, Adrienne Miller got her lucky break when she was hired as an editorial assistant at GQ magazine in the midnineties. Even if its sensibilities were manifestly midcenturythe martinis, powerful male egos, and unquestioned authority of kingsGQ still seemed the redhot center of the literary world. It was there that Miller began learning how to survive in a mans world. Three years later, she forged her own path, becoming the first woman to take on the role of literary editor of Esquire, home to the male writers who had defined manhood itself Hemingway, Mailer, and Carver. Up against this old world, she would soon discover that it wanted nothing to do with a mere girl.But this was also a unique moment in history that saw the rise of a new literary movement, as exemplified by McSweeneys and the work of David Foster Wallace. A decade older than Miller, the mercurial Wallace would become the defining voice of a generation and the fiction writer she would work with most. He was her closest friend, confidantand antagonist. Their intellectual and artistic exchange grew into a highly charged professional and personal relationship between the most prominent male writer of the era and a young woman still finding her voice.This memoira rich, dazzling story of power, ambition, and identityultimately asks the question How does a young woman fit into this male culture and at what cost? With great wit and deep intelligence, Miller presents an inspiring and moving portrayal of a young womans education in a land of men.The memoir Ive been waiting for: a bold, incisive, and illuminating story of a woman whose devotion to language and literature comes at a hideous cost. Its Joanna Rakoffs My Salinger Year updated for the age of She Said: a literary New York now long past; an intimate, fiercely realist portrait of a mythic literary figure; and now, a tender reckoning with possession, power, and what Jia Tolentino called the Important, Inappropriate Literary Man. A poised and superbly perceptive narration of the problems of working with men, and of loving them. Eleanor Henderson, author of 10,000 Saints
