The mid-nineties were still the golden age of print journalism, and a publication like GQ then seemed the red-hot center of the literary world, even if their sensibilities were manifestly mid-century-the martinis, the male egos, and the unquestioned authority of kings. Still, Adrienne learned to hold her own in a man's world, and three years later she forged her own path, becoming the first woman to hold the role of literary editor at Esquire. She was at Esquire during a unique moment in history that simultaneously saw the last days of the old guard of literary titans, and the rise of a new movement, as exemplified by David Foster Wallace, who would become her closest friend, confidant-and antagonist. Here is the untold story of an intellectual and artistic exchange that grew into a highly charged relationship, and Miller presents a candid portrait of the mercurial man behind the spotlight. It is also an account of the guarded literary world, which asks the question: How does a young woman fit into this culture and at what cost? With wit and deep intelligence, Miller presents a moving portrayal of a young woman's education in a land of men"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Miller, Adrienne. 600 10 $a Wallace, David Foster. 650 0 $a Women authors, American $v Biography. 650 0 $a Periodical editors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women periodical editors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Journalism $x Authorship $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 17 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716025658.0 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626020339.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220402010219.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022621.0 952 $l BIPB251 $d 20211215012118.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924015927.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064407.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20210428011459.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20210402010221.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103022246.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20201007082816.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20201002012117.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20200613010037.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200307010237.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20200303024847.0 952 $l NJPD993 $d 20200212112625.0 $m 070.51 MIL 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200211013943.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7C512EDE4C9C11EAA62F6FF696128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
