Fascinating old piece on Epstein and Schiffrin, Jeet. The only thing missing was some assessment of Robert Bernstein, who when running Random House combined an emphasis on the bottom line with nurturing and publishing dissidents from around the world.
Thanks! There's probably room for a book about the shake-up of 1970s/1970s publishing featuring Bernstein, Epstein, Schiffrin, Gottleib and a few others. Someone should write it -- it explains how we got here.
Love this insightful piece about the two editors and the larger context of publishing.
