From its birth in 1925 to the early days of the Cold War, The New Yorker slowly but surely took hold as America's most prestigious, entertaining and informative general-interest periodical. In Cast of Characters, Thomas Vinciguerra paints a portrait of the magazine's cadre of charming, driven, troubled brilliant writers and editors.
