Katherine S. White: A Palisadian Transforms the New Yorker: Biographer Amy Reading Interview and Book Signing

Amy Reading discusses her new book, The World She Edited: Katharine S. White at The New Yorker with Palisades Free Library Trustee Mary Murphy.  

In the summer of 1925, Katharine Sergeant Angell White walked into The New Yorker’s midtown office and left with a job as an editor. The magazine was only a few months old. Over the next thirty-six years, White would transform the publication into a literary powerhouse.  Amy Reading creates a rare and deeply intimate portrait of a prolific editor—through both her incredible tenure at The New Yorker, and her famous marriage to E.B. White—and reveals how she transformed our understanding of literary culture and community.
