April Pick: When the Going was Good: An Editor’s Adventures During the Last Golden Age of Magazines by Graydon Carter
“When the Going Was Good is Graydon Carter’s vibrant memoir, sharing his journey to becoming one of the most influential editors in the media world. From his early days in Canada to working at notable publications like Time, Life, The New York Observer, and Spy, Carter’s career flourished when he was brought in to run Vanity Fair by Condé Nast chairman Si Newhouse. With Newhouse’s support, Carter had the freedom to shape the magazine, introducing iconic elements like Annie Leibovitz’s photography and the “New Establishment” and Hollywood issues. He also cemented Vanity Fair’s presence in Los Angeles with its famous Oscar party. The book is filled with colorful memories and personal insights into Carter’s rise in the editorial world.”
