Where’s the part in which she sits down at a table on which a midlist author’s hopes and dreams are filleted, sauted, and servered with a thick cream sauce to hide the stench of mediocrity?
Esther Newberg, 68, is an executive vice president at International Creative Management, now celebrating – or, as she prefers to describe her longevity and clout, now soldiering through – her 32nd year as a New York literary agent.

She and Tate George, her 17-year-old Scottish fold cat, juggle households on the Upper East Side and in Sag Harbor.

I think she’s referring to the other senior partners plotting to dump her and figure out how to get her clients to stay with someone younger and cheaper, which I’m pretty sure is an everyday occurrence in the snake-pit of the big name agencies.
