The Editor

De: Steven Rowley

Narrado por: Michael Urie

From the bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus comes a novel about a struggling writer who gets his big break, with a little help from the most famous woman in America.

After years of trying to make it as a writer in 1990s New York City, James Smale finally sells his novel to an editor at a major publishing house: none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Jackie--or Mrs. Onassis, as she's known in the office--has fallen in love with James's candidly autobiographical novel, one that exposes his own dysfunctional family. But when the book's forthcoming publication threatens to unravel already fragile relationships, both within his family and with his partner, James finds that he can't bring himself to finish the manuscript.

Jackie and James develop an unexpected friendship, and she pushes him to write an authentic ending, encouraging him to head home to confront the truth about his relationship with his mother. Then a long-held family secret is revealed, and he realizes his editor may have had a larger plan that goes beyond the page...

From the bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus comes a funny, poignant, and highly original novel about an author whose relationship with his very famous book editor will change him forever--both as a writer and a son.

Beautiful story, Beautiful performance.

One of my favorite books in the past few years. The narrator brings true personality and emotion to this author’s story. I laughed and cried in the same paragraphs many times throughout. I will follow whatever this author writes…and I hope that means many, many more books to come!

I can't say enough about this author.

I have loved everything I have listened to of his. What a wonderful story teller who adds just enough depth to his characters without losing humor. I did a little research on him and lo and behold, he is from Portland, ME. Maine does breed some pretty awesome authors. I also read that his books are being looked into for movie and/or TV production. I can't wait.

Absolutely loved!

My review title says it all. A writer’s love for his dad, his boyfriend, and Jackie Kennedy Onassis (his editor)

Outstanding

Another book! Another day crying at my desk at the end. This was simply the best

Just love this sooo much!

Wow this was a blast! i Loved it and believe me it is so good! What a great historic remembrance. The Author is so different and real… I also Loved Guncle. Wow I couldn’t stop listening to both stories. Just listen… You won’t be disappointed.
Moms are just the best, so very very sad we forget that sometimes.
Crazy how life way too short. Great to have a reminder :)
Live your life everyday as we aren’t guaranteed tomorrow.

Love everyone, steer clear of HATE aim anyway.
