He’s got his second post up at Coates’s today and I just want to point and him and be all, “You… you… I see what you’re up to.” Maybe he doesn’t really know what he’s up to. But I feel like I see it–one way forward. I mean, damn, look at how he exhibits a passion for books and a mastery of language. You read what he’s saying and you trust that he’s thought about it and he writes in ways that makes me feel like he’d be someone who could do the invisible work of editing a manuscript.
He’s just posted twice and already I find myself saying, “Oh, I should be sure to check those books he mentions out.”
Are we on the verge of seeing the acquiring editor stepping into a public role of tastemaker?
I feel like we are.
