Anyone ever enjoyed a four-martini lunch with an agent? Get invited to an impromptu soiree on the editor’s floor at Knopf? Scored the biggest bonus of them all—attendance at a NYC house’s annual holiday party, only to stagger to the curb at frightful hours to hail a cab before the grim, gray light of dawn spread through the streets like a pack of ghostly wolves ready to maul your leftover brains into bits of oatmeal? Well, it wasn’t that long ago when alllll those glorious things could actually happen, if you had the right connection, job, or contract being dangled in your face at the opportune time. The Cut has some anecdotes to share about those naughty old days before mugs of cider were cradled cheerlessly in break rooms and festivity went as belly-up as the industry itself. Do explore.
