GORDON LISH
Gordon Lish was the editor of Genesis West from 1962-1964, as long as their short run lasted. He was the fiction editor at Esquire for many years and then went on to become an editor at Alfred A. Knopf and also the editor of The Quarterly Magazine which was published by Random House for the first few years, and is now published by The Gutter Press, based in Canada.

Mr. Lish conducts writing classes that are nothing short of legendary. He says he is a teacher first, an editor second, and a writer last. Gordon Lish is controversial. If you have never read anything written by the man then you have not experienced a most original style. Lish has written several books, his first being Dear Mr.Capote.
