How did I miss this film about Thomas Wolfe & his editor Max Perkins? I ran across the film today and binge watched the whole thing while on the elliptical. Gorgeous cinematography and acting - highly recommend.

pickWow. The main character of this book is not a good person. This is a great book. It does highlight racism and discrimination and I liked that the author did that.
pickAn ugly story about writing, publishing, opportunism, ambition, racism, cancel culture, etc.
Despite the tough topics, I thought this was very well-done.
Bravo!
pickWhat a book. I love a good satire and this one is so well written you sometimes forget it is one.
pickRandom House started out by acquiring The Modern Library, so it seems appropriate to picture this memoir alongside my ML collection. I enjoyed Cerf‘s meandering reminiscences and the advantage of knowing which of his authors is still read and which not doesn‘t detract a bit. His humor isn‘t mean, even when “telling tales” on famous people, and it was a dose of lightheartedness I very much needed. And #letterA for #LitsyAtoZ & #doublrspin.
Here‘s my belated #readyourkindle for this months. Thanks @CBee for organizing.
I needed more humor and less thriller, so reading my #doublespin before my #bookspin this month. Also #letterA for #LitsyAtoZ. @TheAromaofBooks @Texreader

pick4.5/5 ⭐️
Incollata alle pagine fino alla fine
A tratti mi sentivo così vicina alla protagonista e alle volte così lontana, ma comunque provavo quel senso di empatia per una persona che continua a lottare nonostante tutto per ritagliarsi il suo angolo in un mondo estremamente competitivo e senza scrupoli
