Not to be grim, but you seem to have something of a specialty in editing posthumous books, from Hemingway to Foster Wallace. What's it like editing a book with no author to consult? How does the editor's job become something different in that situation?
Two books in 35 years hardly make a specialty! In both cases there was an estate that was very involved in the editing and presentation of the book. And both books gave me an opportunity to think through the publisher's obligation to make the editorial process transparent to readers.
