3 d. ago When the Going Was Good by Graydon Carter review – juicy stories from the heydey of magazines

From Anna Wintour’s table manners to Oscar party hijinks, the former editor of Vanity Fair tells all There are lines in When the Going Was Good, Graydon Carter’s memoir of his swashbuckling career as an editor during the heyday of magazines, that will make any journalist laugh (bitterly) out loud. “There was a bar at the end of each corridor,” writes Carter of his first job at Time magazine in the mid-1970s, where expense accounts were huge, oversight relaxed and, “I went five years without ever turning on my oven”.

This might come as a surprise. If you live in London, you probably see one of the 15,000 or so couriers like me zooming past you several times a day. And with Covid triggering a takeaway boom five years ago, you’d reasonably assume that these apps are raking it in.But while companies such as Deliveroo and Uber have been pumped full of cash by investors, many have been losing money year after year, as they tried to squeeze competition out of the market.
