People generally set out to write their memoirs in times of relative boredom or malaise&mdash;in other words, when they&rsquo;ve retired. Not so for Graydon Carter. He began working on his new memoir,&nbsp;When the Going Was Good, just after leaving his post at the helm of&nbsp;Vanity Fair, where he was editor for 25 years, and as he was starting AIR MAIL. But then, whether Carter was lampooning the excesses of 1980s New Yorkers in&nbsp;Spy,&nbsp;hosting Oscar parties for the ages at&nbsp;Vanity Fair, or poring over the seating charts for his Greenwich Village restaurant The Waverly Inn, he never was one to loaf. On this episode of&nbsp;Table for Two,&nbsp;he joins host Bruce Bozzi to discuss his experience working as a railroad lineman in Canada, the moment he realized the golden age of print was nearing its end, and how he was able to effectively separate his work and family life.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
