On Wednesday, September 13, Knopf held a toast in its offices in Manhattan to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its v-p and managing editor, Kathy Hourigan. As far as anyone who was present could recall--including colleagues who have been with the company for 40 or 50 years or more--Hourigan is the employee with the longest tenure at all of Penguin Random House. If she looks familiar, it could be because you spotted her in Turn Every Page, the documentary about Robert Gottlieb, the former editor-in-chief of Knopf, and Robert Caro, the acclaimed biographer of Robert Moses and Lyndon Johnson.
