while there i became an editor and i had the pleasure of working on a hemingway book. it was a great opportunity like being in that house i was able to edit that book about heaven ways memoir called the days of summer and that was just a great place to begin to acquire books. megabyte it also means you're be entrusted with the company's money. you become you become an investor. your job is to read things in say i think we should put your money into investing in this book because i believe we could make money on it for these reasons. that is where i first was an investor that was a great opportunity and responsibility. >> host: what was a smart decision you made after acquiring editor and was a not so smart decision you make? >> guest: a smart decision is acquiring editor, there have been i'm happy to say i made a lot of on. i'd say working with james patterson, i became his editor at one point and i guess i cannot take credit there because it's r&b and published by little brown when i became its editor. so working with james patterson have but a great lesson that i've

>> yeah. >> and he met hemingway and said he was arrogant. [laughter] and i also have a friend, gayle gottlieb, whose father was in the brigade. >> daniel gottlieb. >> a couple questions quickly. what would spain have looked like if the republic had won? would it have been stalinist? democratic? and if the republic had won, would hitler and mussolini maybe not have started the war? >> good questions. i think if the spanish republic had won the war, the people of spain would have been much better off. there are right-wing historians who say, well, if the republic had won, it would have become soviet satellite, and it's true that the soviets did have great influence in the army and the security police. but i think to effectively turn a country into a satellite, you have to have military occupation. the soviet satellites in eastern europe could remain that way for 40 years because the red army was on hand, and moscow didn't help to -- didn't stop to deploy, didn't hesitate to deploy it when somebody got out of line as in hungary, east germany, c

married to hemingway, she had to be. >> that's true. [laughter] >> anyway, whenever he was in a battle zone where there were american volunteers captured, he made a point to have them rescued because they were going to be shot. >> that's true. they were. >> outsiders, many were naive. they were cannon fodder. and he actually saved milton wolf's life once who became head of the abraham lincoln brigade in new york. >> that's right. and head of the abraham lincoln battalion in spain. >> yeah. and one last story. he was, he saw a battle, and they captured ten american abraham lincoln people. and the captain who liked, the captain of the spaniards who liked my father a lot and knew he was close to franco said you pick five to live. >> wow. >> and so what my father did, he interviewed them thoroughly. and they thought, oh, i'm going to be in the newspaper. and the ones he saved were the one young ones who hadn't seen any battle. but there were two that were pretty bad though. they were thugs, and they had done a lot of destruction. and, essen

edto the. >> faulkner, he discovered hemingway.ius? it's a word that's used rather too liberally i think nowadays. people are always said to be a genius of this, a genius of that. >> stephen: have you been called a genius? >> i haven't yet, but i'm hoping. >> stephen: is this-- is this movie just fish ago exactly. who knows? but i would argue that it's the relationship. it's the two of them together. there's a great line in the film where sthn describes max perkins as being a genius relationship, a friendship. and i thought that was a wonderful way of using the word. really the piece was looking at what does it take to create genius. >> stephen: wow. do you know a genius? you can say, "yeah, that person say genius?" have you met somebody you would be comfortable telling-- in the art world i have been in, i met a genius. >> the person that springs to mind, and i was fortunate enough to work with him, several years ago, 15 years ago, was stephen spielberg. he's pretty close to being a genius in my mind. >> stephen: pretty good, prett

and we read some shakespeare, they read stories by hemingway and vonnegut.hey began to read with some real pleasure. and at the end of the year, she asked them to choose one of four books, the one that they liked the best they had to read it and write a report on it. it was ishmael bay's long boy gone, a boy warrior in sierra leone who worked for -- was kidnapped by the rebels and worked for the government forces and by his own account killed many people when he was 13 and 14 and so on when he was kept high on cocaine most of the time. he eventually was rescued and came to the united states and was adopted by an american woman who wound up at oberlin where he had a good writing teacher. he wrote this excellent narrative, and the kids were very alive to that kind of stress in anyone's life. both the violence of it and the release from violence of it. and at the end of year, a sort of mini miracle happened which was that ishmael bay showed up. not because of me, not because of ms. zolinski, it just was a total coincidence. he gave a talk at the university in n

then i became an editor and i had the enormous pleasure of working on several hemingway books. the thrill of that was just beyond exciting. it was a great place to begin acquiring books and to be acquiring anything means you are trusted with the publishers money. you are essentially an investor. i think you should trust your money and investing in this book because we can make money on it for these reasons. that's how i switched to an investor. that was a great risk they took on the kid and a great responsibility. >> one of the smart decisions you have made? and one of the not so smart decisions you have made? >> of the smart decisions, there have been, i'm happy to say i think there have been a lot of them. i would say working with james patterson. i became his editor at one point and i can't take all the credit because he was already published when i got to know him, but it was great working with him. i would say persuading my bosses to invest in the novel infinite gesture was a great investment. >> you had to persuade them to benchmark. >> it was a partial. it was 150 pages

the pleasure of working with -- there is an enormous opportunity and i got to edit a book about hemingway's a memoir that was never published called the days of summer. that was beyond exciting. it was a great place to begin acquiring books and emmys are being trusted with the company's money and you become an investor. your job is to read things in i think we should put your money into this book because i believe we can make money on it for these reasons. that was one of my first experiences as an investor. it was a great responsibility. >> host: tell me about the hardest is decision you made and was a not smart decision you made is acquiring editor. >> guest: smart decision as an aspiring editor, there have been i'm happy to say there been a lot of them. i would say working with james patterson, i became his editor at one point and i guess i can't take credit there because it was all being published by little brown when i became his editor. so working with him as been a best settle lessons i've ever had but i can't take credit as the acquiring editor. i'd say talking to my bosses about in
