Moved from books about reading to movies about writing. This scene shows a young Wolfe delivering several boxes full of unedited manuscript to his editor, Maxwell Perkins. "The book is 5,000 pages long." Perfect deadpan delivered by the impeccable Mr Darcy, ahem, Colin Firth.

BookHermit "That's what we editors lose sleep over. Are we really making books better or just making them different?" 8y

BookHermit @readinginthedark I had out it on my list because I thought it was about the other Thomas Wolfe and I happened to be reading Bonfire of the Vanities at the time 😂 8y
