Behind the Scenes...

Back in — 2014? 2015? — two dear friends of mine put me in touch with a dear friend of their’s, New Yorker cartoonist and snowman expert Bob Eckstein, who was putting together a book on the world’s greatest bookstores, which he would title “The World’s Greatest Bookstores.”

One day in the archives, my assistant and I came across a letter.

When I first set out to write The Angel Makers, there was going to be a lot more Jazz Age journalism, and therefore a lot more of Jack MacCormac.
