Description of The Editor by Steven Rowley PDF

“The Editor” is an awesome story about mothers and sons, about family, about betrayal and forgiveness. Steven Rowley is the author of this novel. Steven has written an entertaining, intriguing, heartwarming, and amusing novel. The Editor is touching, introspective and full of nuanced emotional character arcs. One of the strongest aspects of The Editor is its sense of place, you never forget you are in the 90s. Talk of Clinton’s election is prominent throughout and the perception of the homosexual community feels accurate to the time period. The Editor follows James as he works (under Jackie Kennedy’s direction) to find an accurate resolution to his novel, which involves the painful confrontation between the protagonist and his aloof mother.

This is an obviously autobiographical work, as James himself has many conflicting issues with his mother and is attempting to repair those bridges indirectly/directly through his novel. One of the book’s selling points is in the reparation process between James and his mother, it is fascinating. However, due to the nature of James’ constant search for internal reparations and the external quest for the resolution we found sections of this book to be long-winded and entirely focused on James’ thoughts and feelings. There are huge paragraphs with no dialogue and minimal action. 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.
