Summary
Summary
Vividly reminiscent of the goings-on at Sterling Cooper—the late nights, the three-martini lunches, the sex on couches, and, of course, the actual work of plugging products—this is the story of what Madison Avenue was really like in the 1960s. A worldwide bestseller when first published in 1970, this frank, irreverent, and hilarious memoir is a one-of-a-kind cult classic.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Brilliant…Best enjoyed after a three-martini lunch.” —GQ
“Reads like the transcript of a tape made at a bar or cocktail party with the recorder propped up next to the raconteur at the center of the crowd.” —Salon
“When there was some debate about whether something was accurate or not, Jerry said ‘You’re not even close. It was so much worse than what you’re seeing on the show.’” —Matthew Weiner, creator and executive producer of Mad Men
