An Editor's Burial: Journals and Journalism from the New Yorker and Other Magazines

Inspirations for Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch - brilliant essays by New Yorker luminaries that directly inspired the characters and settings of the film A glimpse of post-war France through the eyes and words of 14 (mostly) expatriate journalists including Mavis Gallant, James Baldwin, A.J. Liebling, S.N. Behrman, Luc Sante, Joseph Mitchell, and Lillian Ross; plus, portraits of their editors William Shawn and New Yorker founder Harold Ross. Together: they invented modern magazine journalism. Includes an introductory interview by Susan Morrison with Anderson about transforming fact into a fiction and the creation of his homage to these exceptional reporters.
