Turn Every Page: The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb
To litterære legender – forfatteren Robert Caro og redaktøren hans gjennom mange år Robert Gottlieb – har samarbeidet for å skape noen av historiens beste sakprosabøker. Caro har nå blitt 86 år gammel og er fast bestemt på å fullføre det siste bindet av mesterverket sitt, The Years of Lyndon Johnson. Gottlieb, som er 91, vil redigere det. Med humor og innsikt avslører dette unike dobbelportrettet arbeidsvanene, særegenhetene og de profesjonelle gledene til disse to sylskarpe intellektuelle mens de prøver å avslutte det siste mesterverket i livsverket sitt.
