I’m a few New Yorker issues behind but I just loved this piece by John McPhee about working with various editors at the magazine over the years. He talks about how he filed an 80,000-word story and editor Robert Gottlieb called him to discuss it in detail THE FOLLOWING MORNING. He’d already read the whole thing and had some ideas on how to improve it. I have a tremendous soft spot for stories about relationships between writers and editors and this is a very good one. Subscribers only I think.
