Remembering Robert Giroux, Jersey City's literary lion
- ️Thu Sep 11 2008
What do T.S. Eliot, Flannery O'Connor and Jack Kerouac have in common? Aside from American literary giants, they were all edited by Jersey City Robert Giroux, known by his neighbors on the city's West Side simply as "Bob."
Giroux, who died last week, inhabited both the high-glamor world of Jackie Kennedy Onassis and the blue-collar existence of his friends and neighbors in Jersey City, writes Star-Ledger columnist Mark Di Ionno.
