Max Perkins: Editor of Genius

Now the Major Motion PictureÂ Genius, Starring Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman and Jude Law.

The National Book Award winner from Pulitzer-Prize winning author A. Scott Berg.
Â
The talents he nurtured were known worldwide: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, and numerous others. But Maxwell Perkins remained a mystery, a backstage presence who served these authors not only as editor but also as critic, career manager, moneylender, psychoanalyst, father-confessor, and friend.
Â
This outstanding biography, a winner of the National Book Award, is the first to explore the fascinating life of this genius editor extraordinareâ€”in both the professional and personal domains. It tells not only of Perkinâ€™s stormy marriage, endearing eccentricities, and secret twenty-five-year romance with Elizabeth Lemmon, but also of his intensely intimate relationships with the leading literary lights of the twentieth century. It is, in the words of Newsweek, â€œan admirable biography of a wholly admirable man.â€
