Here at the New Yorker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia First edition (publ. Random House) Here at The New Yorker is a 1975 best-selling book by American writer Brendan Gill, writer and drama critic for The New Yorker magazine. Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of The New Yorker, Gill’s book is a semi-autobiographical memoir built around his time as an editor and writer at the magazine and written in the style of the Talk of the Town section to which Gill contributed for many years. Much of the book is devoted to anecdotes about his best-known colleagues, such as cartoonists Peter Arno, Charles Addams, and James Thurber; writers Truman Capote, John Updike, S.J. Perelman, and John O’Hara; critics Wolcott Gibbs and Robert Benchley; and editors Katharine White, Harold Ross, and William Shawn.
