Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Candid observations and opinions about the past, present and future of publishingA tribute to a man whose life's work has centered on the study of authorship and who is a scholar and book collector of the first magnitude, The Professions of Authorship examines the business of writing, publishing, and selling booksor what George V. Higgins describes in this volume as a "perplexing, disorganized, chameleonic enterprise." Twentythree authors, publishing professionals, and scholars who share Matthew J. Bruccoli's love and knowledge of books unravel many of the mysteries surrounding this traditionbound endeavor.The first of three sections opens with a poem written by James Dickey in celebration of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Centenary and includes essays in which writers of fiction and poetry share lessons about the idiosyncrasies, sacrifices, and rewards of professional authorship.In the second section, agents, editors, publishers, and reviewers reflect on their function as bridges between author and audience. Charles Scribner III tells of his family's "accidental" entry into the profession and his grandfather's partnership with Maxwell Perkins, and John F. Thornton draws surprising observations about the BookoftheMonth Club.In the final section, eleven scholars consider how literary reputations are made and maintained, the practicalities of authorship, and the difficulties that scholars face in writing about authors.
