TURN EVERY PAGE – THE ADVENTURES OF ROBERT CARO AND ROBERT GOTTLIEB
Filmmaker Lizzie Gottlieb has crafted an insightful, absorbing look at the half-century collaboration between her father, influential editor Robert Gottlieb, and acclaimed author Robert Caro. Winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, Caro is widely hailed as one of the greatest living biographers. No slouch himself, Gottlieb is a literary giant whose clients have included Salman Rushdie, John Cheever, and Toni Morrison. The professional relationship between the two men has endured for more than 50 years, encompassing Caro’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Robert Moses biography The Power Broker and his monumental, five-volume The Years of Lyndon Johnson. With the final volume of the long-gestating series nearing completion, the two look back fondly on their shared achievements (as well as some contentious arguments over semicolons). Turn Every Page is a treat for Caro aficionados and newbies alike, offering a delightful tour behind the scenes of the literary world, led by two of its most fascinating figures.
