Description

Explore the hidden role of the editor in literary production with The Art of Editing by Tim Groenland. This academic work challenges the common tendency to focus solely on the solitary author, instead highlighting how editors help acquire, develop, and distribute literary works. By examining the publishing history and archival resources related to Raymond Carver and David Foster Wallace, Groenland brings the invisible influence of the editor into focus. These two authors serve as stylistic touchstones for recent US fiction, making them ideal subjects for this study of how texts are shaped. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in literary theory, publishing history, and the practical realities of how fiction moves from a manuscript to a finished product. It provides a necessary perspective on the collaborative nature of creating great literature.
