Looking at all the work Graydon Carter has done over the years, I wonder what it would be like to be one of his creations.
As Spy magazine, I'd be fearless, funny, ahead of my time, radical and brave. Were I Vanity Fair, I'd be glamorous and erudite. Say I was his restaurant, The Waverly Inn, I'd be delicious, nestled in a beautiful corner of Greenwich Village. As Airmail, I would fly through the air every week, telling everyone what they need to know.
And were I one of his five children or his beautiful wife Anna, I'd know what it feels like to be the focus of Graydon’s life. As for his newly published memoir, When The Going Was Good, I'd be unputdownable and number five on the New York Times bestseller list. But I would trade any of these just to be Graydon's friend, and that is what I am.
