'Insatiable' Critic Tells All

Gael Greene is the longtime New York magazine restaurant critic equally famous for her passions for food and affairs, whose rubric is 'The Insatiable Critic.' So the title of a tell-all memoir she is writing just had to be Insatiable, and her agent, Jane Dystel, decided she would host a party to introduce Greene to interested editors. A group duly turned up on a snowy night, and one of them, Jamie Raab at Warner, was so convinced by the author's charisma that she bought her book at auction a few days later. It was a world rights deal, and Greene promises a feast of wonderful meals, celebrity chefs and restaurateurs—plus, of course, some pillow talk.
