This is delightful from beginning to end (excluding, for me, the apparently mandatory chapter on obscenity???). It is somewhat rambling, but I loved that ramble--from poolside foot-checker to copy editor at the New Yorker. Norris chronicles how she ended up at the New Yorker, tosses in some grammar and usage, gifts us with some marvelous notes and quirks from authors and other editors, and tops it off with a chapter on pencils and pencil sharpeners--the buttercream crowning the book---just because she can. Loved it!
