<div>“I’ve got the name for our publishing operation. We just said
we were going to publish a few books on the side at random. Let’s
call it Random House.” So recounts Bennett Cerf in this wonderfully
amusing memoir of the making of a great publishing house. An
incomparable raconteur, possessed of an irrepressible wit and an
abiding love of books and authors, Cerf brilliantly evokes the
heady days of Random House’s first decades. 
 
Part of the vanguard of young New York publishers who
revolutionized the book business in the 1920s and ’30s, Cerf helped
usher in publishing’s golden age. Cerf was a true personality,
whose other pursuits (columnist, anthologist, author, lecturer,
radio host, collector of jokes and anecdotes, perennial judge of
the Miss America pageant, and panelist on What’s My Line?)
helped shape his reputation as a man of boundless energy and
enthusiasm and brought unprecedented attention to his company and
to his authors. At once a rare behind-the-scenes account of book
publishing and a fascinating portrait of four decades’ worth of
legendary authors, from James Joyce and William Faulkner to Ralph
Ellison and Eudora Welty, At Random is a feast for
bibliophiles and anyone who’s ever wondered what goes on inside a
publishing house.
