David Carey has never been an adherent of the famous line from “Oklahoma!,” “going about as far as they can go.” On June 25, he announced that he would be stepping down from president of Hearst Magazines, a penultimate job for many. And the same happened in September 2005, when he moved from publisher of The New Yorker—three years after achieving profitability at a brand that had been a money loser since 1985—to launch Condé Nast Portfolio.

Among those impressed by Carey’s success at SmartMoney was... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'

Is it possible to write a fantasy novel that has no elements of fantasy? Or a graphic novel that has only occasional graphics? Author Edward Carey, an Englishman who lives in Austin, Texas, certainly thinks so. His new novel, “Little,” (out now from Riverhead) makes up a strange hybrid of things...
