\n Legendary editor Judith Jones, the woman behind some of the most important authors of the 20th century\u2014including Julia Child, Anne Frank, Edna Lewis, John Updike, and Sylvia Plath\u2014finally gets her due in this \u201csurprising, granular, luminous, and path-breaking biography\u201d (Edward Hirsch, author of How to Read a Poem).<\/p>\n

At Doubleday\u2019s Paris office in 1949, twenty-five-year-old Judith Jones spent most of her time wading through manuscripts in the slush pile and passing on projects\u2014until one day, a book caught her eye. She read it in one sitting, then begged her boss to consider publishing it. A year later, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl became a bestseller. It was the start of a culture-defining career in publishing.<\/p>\n

During her more than fifty years as an editor at Alfred A. Knopf, Jones nurtured the careers of literary icons such as Sylvia Plath, Anne Tyler, and John Updike, and helped launched new genres and trends in literature. At the forefront of the cookbook revolution, she published the who\u2019s who of food writing: Edna Lewis, M.F.K. Fisher, Claudia Roden, Madhur Jaffrey, James Beard, and, most famously, Julia Child. Through her tenacious work behind the scenes, Jones helped turn these authors into household names, changing cultural mores and expectations along the way.<\/p>\n

Judith\u2019s work spanned decades of America\u2019s most dramatic cultural change\u2014from the end of World War II through the civil rights movement and the fight for women\u2019s equality\u2014and the books she published acted as tools of quiet resistance. Now, based on exclusive interviews, never-before-seen personal papers, and years of research, her astonishing career is explored for the first time in this \u201cthorough and humanizing portrait\u201d (Kirkus Reviews).
