Most authors have no idea of the pressure on editors to sum up their books in one or, if we’re lucky, two tidy sentences. No pressure, of course: Just capture the Platonic essence of the book in a way that triggers exhilaration and confidence in your marketing and publicity team and the desire to order stackable quantities in booksellers. Yet even as I mock this ritual, I remember my first real job in publishing, as a sales rep at Columbia University Press, and the importance of being able to pitch a book with economy. I chafe, sometimes I cringe—yet I usually manage to write the sentence.
