When I was young, I never could have imagined the career I would have, but it turns out, I was afflicted by the Furor Scribendi and was to spend much of my life writing books and articles as well as writing 106 journals (which I started writing in 1954). In this book, I discuss my experiences with editors and publishers and also offer excerpts from the books I discuss so you can see what I write about and how I express myself. Not all my books were well received. My favorite review of my books was written about my book The TV Guided America, published in the mid-seventies. The reviewer, who did not like my psychoanalytic and semiotic perspectives, wrote: Berger is to the study of television what Idi Amin is to tourism in Uganda. At that time, Amin was killing thousands of people in Uganda who were against his regime. Another book was reviewed by someone who wrote: How do you review a book that never should have been published? A colleague of mine at San Francisco State University once told me that my books were all unpublishable and that I only got them published because my editors were naïve. When I asked him why he had never published a book, he explained, “My books would be too good to be published.” Fortunately, I found any number of naïve editors who published my books. My experiences as an author as reflected in my books are the subject of this book. I don’t deal with all my books but discuss enough of them for you to see what it is like dealing with editors and publishers. After reading it, you will have a better idea of what is like to write a book and be an author.
