My Mistake: A Memoir, by Daniel Menaker (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $24) “Being a longtime reader of The New Yorker, I found Menaker’s behind-the-scenes account of his career there absolutely riveting. The literary life is gutted and splayed for all to see. Menaker’s professional story is interspersed with his personal life, and both fed his writing career. His years at Random House and HarperCollins are also included, with fascinating details about contemporary authors and how a book is created. This is a must-read for booksellers and serious readers.” —Ellen Jarrett, Porter Square Books, Cambridge, MA
