Ted Solotaroff
Theodore "Ted" Solotaroff (October 9, 1928 – August 8, 2008) was an American writer, editor and literary critic.
==Biography==
Born into a working-class Jewish family in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Solotaroff attended the University of Michigan, graduating in 1952, and did graduate work at the University of Chicago, where he became friends with Philip Roth and dedicated himself to literature. He was an editor at ''Commentary'' from 1960 to 1966, then in 1967 founded ''The New American Review'', which was an influential literary journal for the decade of its existence. After it folded, he became an editor at Harper & Row, where he edited works by Russell Banks, Sue Miller, Robert Bly, Bobbie Ann Mason, and others. "In 1989, when Rupert Murdoch bought Harper & Row, Solotaroff began to do less editing and more writing. He left the book business with a parting shot at what he labeled 'the literary-industrial complex.'"〔Joe Holley,(Obituary ), latimes.com; accessed November 10, 2014.〕
He said of the effect of the 1960s on him and his work:()he market for serious writing cracked open in the Sixties and soon became a kind of howling forum where all
manners of ideas, styles and standards contended for attention. As the literary climate altered radically, there was a distinct shift among writers and editors from a preoccupation with values as the ground of experience to a preoccupation with experience as the ground of values—a shift that was, of course, to be felt everywhere in America as the decade of opposition and revision careened along. For those, like myself, who entered the Sixties wedded to their values, the more or less standard ones of academic liberalism and humanism, but quite out of touch with their own experience, this breaking of the ice was alternately exhilarating and dismaying: one felt stirred but also swamped.〔Ted Solotaroff, ''The Red Hot Vacuum and Other Pieces on the Writing of the Sixties'', 1979 (paperback); ISBN 0879232927/ISBN 9780879232924, p. ix.〕
