I could feel the nervousness of the young agent taking on this icon. The delicacy of handling a man revered and set in his ways with all the quirks and confidence brought on by fame and age.
A lovely piece. Thank you!

Thanks for this, Mitchell. As Mira said, this is a very touching tribute. And I can only hope that some of the writers who visit Nathan's blog will have such an equally amazing legacy to leave behind.

Thank you, Thank you, thank you for sharing your experiences with this grand old Gent.
A friend happened to walze into Auchincloss' memorial service uptown and was astounded at all the notables present.
I will be looking out for this biography.

Wow. This is such a beautiful post. Thanks to Mitchell for sharing it, and thanks to you Nathan for asking him to. And sorry for the loss. I've often wondered how much agents grieve their authors--it seems that if they worked together a long time, it WOULD be a great personal loss as well as a professional one.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

This is an elegant and evocative tribute worthy of its legendary subject, and wonderfully human, in the way that Louis's vast library was a living organism rather than a museum piece. Mitchell, you are a gracious link to the old writer. You served him well when he was alive and continue to do so.

Beautiful piece.

2010-02-22T14:52:17.141-08:00

This is a beautiful tribute, Mitchell, steeped in affection for Auchincloss and for the books you both loved. The final line made me tear up.

Oh jeeze, thanks for dropping the bombshell at the end. I was so excited to hear about this man! I guess I will have to buy his memoir.

I'm sorry for your loss.

This is a wonderful post. Thank you so much.

That was beautiful and moving. It feels like we lose a piece of ourselves when someone with such influence in our lives passes suddenly.
