About This Item
Laid in is the card for Kate Edgar, executive director of the Oliver Sacks Foundation, whom Silberman had introduced to Sacks while he was completing A Leg To Stand On: "Between 1977 and 1982, A Leg to Stand On was finally completed, some while swimming at Lake Jeff. Jim Silberman, my editor and publisher in America, was disconcerted when I sent him the Lake Jeff section of the book. He had not received a handwritten manuscript for thirty years, he said, and this one looked as if it had been dropped in the bath. He said it would have to be not just typed but deciphered, and he sent it to one of his former editors, Kate Edgar, now freelancing in San Francisco. My illegible, water-stained manuscript with its ragged, incomplete sentences, arrows, and indecisive crossings out came back beautifully typed and annotated with wise editorial comments. I wrote to Ms. Edgar saying that I thought she had done a remarkable job with a very difficult manuscript and that she should look me up if she returned to the East Coast.
Kate returned the following year, in 1983, and she has worked with me, as editor and collaborator, ever since" (On the Move: A Memoir, p. 240).
