“With ferocious humor and honesty she conjures once more that Narnia-like world of
books before blogs, magazines before the internet—capturing all its giddy verve, and all
its frank injustices with her own unmatchable taste and wit at the dead center, where it
always belonged.”
—John Hodgman, author of Medallion Status
“[Miller] recounts her career as an ‘improbable gatekeeper’ and spins an elegy for the
glory days of American magazines, with cameos by Norman Mailer, George Plimpton,
and Dave Eggers. The star of the show, though, is David Foster Wallace... who quickly
became her greatest confi dant. So began a long-distance love affair that defi ed defi nition.”

“Miller delivers a beautifully written, fiercely honest account of
finding her way—and her voice—in a male-dominated industry.”
—Washington Post
