Turn Every Page explores the remarkable fifty-year relationship between two literary legends, writer Robert Caro and his longtime editor Robert Gottlieb. Now 86, Caro is working to complete the final volume of his masterwork, The Years of Lyndon Johnson; Gottlieb, 91, waits to edit it. The task of finishing their life’s work looms before them.
With humor and insight, this unique double portrait reveals the work habits, peculiarities and professional joys of these two ferocious intellects at the culmination of a journey that has consumed both their lives and impacted generations of politicians, activists, writers, and readers.
FYI — Vineyard Connections
The music for Turn Every Page was done by Clare and Olivier Manchon. Clare Muldaur was born and raised in Chilmark and attended Berklee College of Music. There she met Olivier Manchon. They married in Los Angeles about 20 years ago and have been making music ever since. They came to the Vineyard for the Covid lockdown and scored two movies while here. Earlier this year, viewers here were treated to Waiting for Bojangles and now Turn Every Page. They lived in West Tisbury on Deep Bottom Cove and were inspired for their year and a half on the island by Long Point beach walks, ospreys, geese, swans, and ducks.
