Robert Gottlieb Obituary
Robert Gottlieb Obituary: On Wednesday in Manhattan, Robert Gottlieb, a legendary editor at Simon & Schuster, Alfred A. Knopf, and The New Yorker whose work shaped the careers of innumerable middle- and late-20th-century authors, died. He was 92.
In a hospital, his wife, Maria Tucci, confirmed his passing. Mr. Gottlieb edited the novels of John le Carré, Toni Morrison, John Cheever, Joseph Heller, Doris Lessing, and Chaim Potok, among others.
Michael Crichton, Ray Bradbury, Antonia Fraser, Barbara Tuchman, former president Bill Clinton, and former Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham are among the other authors with whom he has collaborated.
He spent thirty years at Simon & Schuster and Knopf, where he edited and published hundreds of manuscripts, many of which became bestsellers and made their authors wealthy and renowned.
His colleagues described him as both intelligent and gentle with authors’ fragile egos. As an author advocate, he earned the respect of his colleagues and ultimately rose to the position of president and editor-in-chief at Knopf.
