《独立报》、《GQ》、《新政治家》、《金融时报》和BBC文化版2025年备受期待的书籍

“格雷登·卡特是一位才华横溢的讲述者……他讲述的是一个失落世界的真实故事。”——玛丽娜·海德，《其余皆是娱乐》

《当一切顺利时》是格雷登·卡特生动地讲述他如何成为社会上有才华的编辑和文化塑造者之一。卡特从加拿大来到纽约，身无分文，只带着一个行李箱、一份失败的文学杂志和强烈的雄心壮志。他先是在《时代》杂志找到了一份工作，之后又在《生活》杂志工作，与他人共同创办了《间谍》杂志，并担任《纽约观察家》的主编，之后引起了康泰纳仕集团董事长西·纽豪斯的注意，后者邀请他执掌《名利场》杂志。

卡特以其独特的嗓音和妙语连珠的妙语，带领读者走进美国、英国和欧洲那些伟大人物和并非总是一帆风顺的人物的客厅。他聚集了史上优秀的作家和摄影师团队，并在此实时重现了他25年来为巩固《名利场》作为艺术、文化、商业和政治中心地位所采取的措施。《当一切顺利时》魅力十足、坦诚直率，充满幽默感，从内到外捕捉了纸质杂志z后的黄金时代。

A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 IN THE INDEPENDENT, GQ, NEW STATESMAN, FINANCIAL TIMES AND BBC CULTURE

'Graydon Carter is a brilliant raconteur of his own life...it's a real yarn of a lost world' Marina Hyde, The Rest is Entertainment

When the Going Was Good is Graydon Carter's lively recounting of how he made his mark as one of society's most talented editors and shapers of culture. Carter arrived in New York from Canada with little more than a suitcase, a failed literary magazine in his past and a keen sense of ambition. He landed a job at Time, went on to work at Life, co-founded Spy magazine and edited The New York Observer before catching the eye of Condé Nast chairman Si Newhouse, who tapped him to run Vanity Fair.

With his inimitable voice and raconteur's quip, Carter brings readers inside the drawing rooms of the great and not-always-good of America, Britain and Europe. He assembled one of the best-ever stables of writers and photographers under one roof, and here he re-creates in real time the steps he took to ensure that Vanity Fair during his 25-year run cemented its place as the epicentre of art, culture, business and politics. Charming, candid and brimming with humour, When the Going Was Good perfectly captures the last golden age of print magazines from the inside out.
