She read the book 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. Over more than half a century as an editor at Knopf, Jones became a legend, nurturing future literary icons such as Sylvia Plath, Anne Tyler, and John Updike. At the forefront of the cookbook revolution, she published the who's who of food writing: Edna Lewis, M.F.K. Fisher, Claudia Roden, Madhur Jaffrey, James Beard, and, most famously, Julia Child. Jones celebrated the art and pleasures of cooking and culinary diversity, forever changing the way Americans think about food. Her work spanned the decades of America's most dramatic cultural change. From the end of World War II through the Cold War; from the civil rights movement to the fight for women's equality, Jones's work questioned convention, using books as a tool of quiet resistance. Now, her astonishing career is explored for the first time. Based on exclusive interviews, never-before-seen personal papers, and years of research, The Editor tells the riveting behind-the-scenes narrative of how stories are made, finally bringing to light the audacious life of one of our most influential tastemakers"--cProvided by publisher.14aJones, Judith, d1924-2017 0aBook editorszUnited StatesvBiography. 4aEditores de libros vBiografíaszEstados Unidos  0aWomen editorszUnited StatesvBiography. 4aMujeres editoraszEstados Unidos vBiografías  0aPublishers and publishingzUnited StatesxHistoryy20th century. 4aEditores y publicacioneszEstados Unidos xHistoria ySiglo XX 0aAmerican literaturey20th centuryxHistory and criticism. 4aLiteratura estadounidense xHistoria y críticaySiglo XX 08iOnline version:aFranklin, Sara B.tEditorbFirst hardcover edition.dNew York : Atria Books, 2024z9781982134389w(DLC) 2023057174
