The Agent

A powerhouse literary agent and publisher shares stories of the lessons he's learned and the intriguing personalities he's encounter in his career.

Arthur Klebanoff is one of the world's most powerful literary agents—with the record to prove it. Among his authors are Michael Bloomberg, Danielle Steel, Bill Bradley, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Patrick Moynihan, Linda Goodman, Rupert Murdoch, and the Pope. Many have generated more than $1 billion in retail sales. Klebanoff is also CEO of Rosetta Books, the leading electronic publisher of quality backlist books. In this memoir of his professional life, Klebanoff recounts all the lessons he has learned and the fascinating people he has met on the way to his recent acquisition of the famous Scott Meredith Literary Agency. The Agent also includes his vision of the future of book publishing to which he will no doubt leave a legacy. "The title of Arthur Klebanoff's book sounds like John LeCarre. And his personal tour of New York publishing has as many twists and tricks as any spy novel."—Richard Reeves, author of President Nixon: Alone in the White House
