- After World War I, Maxwell Perkins sought out "Lost Generation" authors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, whose novels he edited and championed. He also worked with many other famous and award-winning writers and poets, including Thomas Wolfe, Ring Lardner, J.P. Marquand, Erskine Caldwell, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Zora Neale Hurston, Alan Paton, and James Jones. Today he's considered America's most important editor of fiction. In 2005 the Center for Fiction established the Maxwell E. Perkins Award in his honor and to celebrate his legacy.

The Sons of Maxwell Perkins: Letters of F. Scott… por Maxwell E. Perkins
Used this as a bit of background research for a discussion of The Great Gatsby I led at the library in March 2013; I used approximately the first 50 pages. Interesting back-and-forth between Fitzgerald and Perkins regarding edits to the manuscript, changes to the title and dust jacket (FSF's concerns that there should be no blurbs from other authors, and that plot points not be given away), and reactions to the initial sales.
These letters share insights into Hemingway -- the real, unheroic, determined, obstinate, fiery, pensive, colliegial Hemingway.
An example to us all...a superb writer of letters, a perceptive editor, and respectful of his authors' unique qualities.
