Max Perkins - Editor of Genius (Electronic book text)

The National Book Award winner from the #1 "New York Times" bestselling author is now in Berkley trade for the first time-and celebrating its 30th anniversary.
The talents he nurtured became worldwide literary legends-among them, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Thomas Wolfe. But Maxwell Perkins remained a mystery, a backstage presence who served these authors not only as editor extraordinaire but also as critic, psychoanalyst, father-confessor, and devoted friend. But who really was Maxwell Perkins? "Now the mystery has been solved, in A. Scott Berg's exhaustive, penetrating, and wholly satisfying biography" ("Miami Herald").
