"Insatiable joy"--The Wall Street Journal"Wonderful.an incredibly good read"--Louisville Courier-Journal"Once you startLate Edition, you won't be able to put it down, even if it means staying up all night"--Buffalo NewsProduct Description A loving and laughter-filled trip back to a lost American time when the newspaper business was the happiest game in town.In a warm, affectionate true-life tale, New York Timesbestselling author Bob Greene(When We Get to Surf City, Duty, Once Upon a Town)travels back to a place where-when little more than a boy-he had the grand good luck to find himself surrounded by a brotherhood and sisterhood of wayward misfits who, on the mezzanine of a Midwestern building, put out a daily newspaper that didn't even know it had already started to die."In some American cities," Greene writes, "famous journalists at mighty and world-renowned papers changed the course of history with their reporting."  But at theColumbus Citizen-Journal, there was a willful rejection of grandeur-these were overworked reporters and snazzy sportswriters, nerve-frazzled editors and insult-spewing photographers, who found pure joy in the fact that, each morning, they awakened to realize: "I get to go down to the paper again."At least that is how it seemed in the eyes of the novice copyboy who saw romance in every grungy pastepot, a symphony in the song of every creaking typewriter.  With current-day developments in the American newspaper industry so grim and dreary,Late Editionis a Valentine to an era that was gleefully cocky and seemingly free from care, a wonderful story as bracing and welcome as the sound of a rolled-up paper thumping onto the front stoop just after dawn.
