词汇 | a prolifigate publisher |
词源 | a prolifigate publisher. Horace Liveright, publisher of Sher- wood Anderson, Theodore Dreiser, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Dorothy Parker, Edgar Lee Masters, Robinson Jeffers, Bertrand Russell, and so many other greats, was a serious and generous man when it came to literature, but his editorial offices were called “the asylum” by people who worked there. To set the tone, Liveright—who lived up to his name—had in his office a hidden bedroom where he conducted his daily affairs, a bed all done up in lace. He found this necessary to keep his affairs se- cret from both his wife and his mistress. |
