By the time Michael Grynbaum’s book on Condé Nast was published earlier this year, the sport-coat-wearing New York Times reporter had spent four years researching the media company. So it was time to celebrate.
Grynbaum hosted a stunt-like soirée inside the Frank Gehry–designed cafeteria of 4 Times Square, Condé Nast’s old stomping grounds, on the evening the book was released. Scores of magazine-world V.I.P.’s were in attendance, including Air Mail Co-Editor Graydon Carter and the new editorial director of Vanity Fair, Mark Guiducci.
