Named a Best Book of the Year by critics from both NPR and the New York Post!'The voice of a man who tasted the best of the American century and still left the party early, with his dignity intact.' The New Yorker From the pages of Spy and Vanity Fair to the red carpets of Hollywood, editor Graydon Carter's memoir revives the glamorous heyday of print magazines when they were at the vanguard of American cultureAfter working at both Time and Life and cofounding Spy, Graydon Carter was offered the editorship of Vanity Fair in 1992.

He went on to run the magazine with overwhelming success for the next two and a half decades.When the Going Was Good is Graydon Carter's lively recounting of how he made his mark as one of the most talented editors in the business, further planting a flag in Los Angeles with the legendary Vanity Fair Oscar party. With his inimitable voice and signature quip, he brings readers to lunches and dinners with the great and good of America, Britain, and Europe.
