  Books | André Deutsch
Deutsch's big break came with the von Papen Memoirs, the diary of Hitler's most able diplomat, and he sold serial rights to a Sunday newspaper for £30,000, which made it a bestseller.
Deutsch expected to remain as a consultant, but soon found his presence was not welcome.
André Deutsch, publisher, born November 15 1917; died April 10 2000.

 An Editor Has Her Say - 4/2/2001 - Publishers Weekly
Andre Deutsch, the man in question, was a Hungarian-Jewish refugee who had landed a sales job in publishing.
Deutsch and Athill soon chose friendship over love, and when the Hungarian Anglophile scraped together £3,000 to start his own publishing house—he was advised the minimum necessary was £15,000, but was determined to do it nevertheless—he asked Athill to join him at Allan Wingate (a name adopted to forestall anti-German and anti-Semitic sentiment).
Deutsch had the pluck to publish Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead when all the established British houses nervously shied away, but ever scrambling for money, he had brought in backers who were less than ideal.

André Deutsch, born in Hungary in 1917, emigrated to England in June 1939.
In 1952 André used his own name as publisher for the first time; he also had two first-rate partners.
His big mistake was selling 50 percent of the firm to a publisher we both knew; after three years, when André had reached the age of seventy, his new partner exercised his option and bought the other 50 percent.

 Patron Saints Index: Blessed Andre Bessette
Andre had a special ministry to the sick.
Brother Andre and others climbed the steep hill and planted medals of Saint Joseph on it, and soon after, the owners yielded, which incident helped the current devotion to Saint Joseph by those looking to buy or sell a home.
Andre collected money to build a small chapel and received visitors there, listening to their problems, praying, rubbing them with Saint Joseph's oil, and curing many.

 Trisha Kemerly   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
André and Athill decided to publish the book, albeit with the f-bomb changed to “fug” and “fugging.” Athill admits this was a ridiculous solution, but the result of their publishing the book served to paint the house as a brave and daring little firm – perfect for handling interesting new writers (41).
André, who despite Athill’s obvious respect and affection for him, comes across as a thoroughly unlikable man who gave little to no regard to Athill’s feelings, except for her opinions about the books.
She realizes that André Deutsch had to adjust to the changes in consumers, and publishers will always have to adjust their methods to continue to support good writing and bring it to the world.

 The Andre Deutsch Collection: Special collections: Oxford Brookes University Library
Born in 1917 in Budapest, Andre Deutsch was one of a group of central European emigres - including George Weidenfeld and Paul Hamlyn - who played an important role in the development of British publishing between the 1950s and the 1980s.
In the early 1950s he established Andre Deutsch Ltd which published some of the most important names in post war fiction, including John Updike, V.S.Naipaul, Philip Roth and Norman Mailer.
The Andre Deutsch Collection consists of the published output of Andre Deutsch Ltd and Allan Wingate (his first company) as well as titles from Deutsch's own personal library (including many signed editions from author friends).

 DIANA ATHILL
Of all the authors she edited at Andre Deutsch, among them V S Naipaul and Norman Mailer, the one whose approach Athill sought to apply to her own writing was that of Jean Rhys.
Here in Diana’s pages André’s flair, acumen, and energy in the early years are revealed and, of course, the final act of financial atonement after years of undervaluation when he bought her an annuity after a disaster with her company pension that was neither her fault nor his.

Under her guidance Deutsch was the first to publish V. Naipaul, Brian Moore and Mordecai Richler, among others, and the first British publisher of John Updike, Philip Roth and Margaret Atwood.
But ''Stet'' goes on to tell the depressing, and depressingly familiar, tale of how Deutsch floundered in the 1970's and 80's, when the mounting costs of book production, the dominance of new media and the entry of multinational conglomerates into publishing made it more and more difficult for small independent houses to survive.
The chief character in this saga of Deutsch's rise and fall is André Deutsch himself.

 Feature News [The Kathmandu Post (Nepal)]
Athill’s account is divided into two parts: the first comprising a chronicle of her time at Andre Deutch, and the second comprising accounts of her personal relationships with authors she liked, loathed, and found worthy of remembering.
After their insipid romance the two of them became good friends, and eventually Deutsch asked Athill to join his publishing venture, which was then called Allan Wingate to ward off any anti-German feeling that the name Deutsch might rouse.
The only Andre Deutsch authors whom I count among my real friends opened the way to that friendship by going off to be published by someone else." Stet is a great book for anyone who cares about books.

I was a secretary at Andre Deutsch for a brief period, in the room next to his office, from which I could often hear sounds of strife.
Andre set up Allan Wingate (he was advised not to use "Deutsch" so soon after the war) and Diana was pulled in as editor, advertising manager and packer.
She was a founding partner of André Deutsch and has written - in her unfettered way - about working with writers such as VS Naipaul, Brian Moore, Molly Keane and Jean Rhys in Stet, her book about publishing.

Her portrait of the late André Deutsch is wickedly comical and full of incidents he might have preferred unmentioned -- but not unkind; so she lives up to her standards of good gossip." -
She worked for André Deutsch (after having a brief fling with him), first for his Allan Wingate-house (the name chosen because "Deutsch" was presumed to be too inflammatory so close after World War II), and then for the eponymous André Deutsch Limited.
Deutsch apparently had quite the personality, but he certainly put it to good use and the Deutsch-list was, for a while, a most impressive one.

Diana Athill was 75 when she retired as editor and director of publishing firm André Deutsch in 1993.
Instead she got a job at the BBC supplying background information to the newsroom, and didn't make her first contact with the literary world until she met the then aspirant publisher André Deutsch at a party in 1943.
Athill says that before meeting Deutsch she had never actually met a writer, and so welcomed her initial niche in the firm as "the editor who sat in the attic.

 Granta: 'Editing Vidia' by Diana Athill
In 1956, four years after the launch of André Deutsch Limited, of which I was a director, Mordecai Richler (whose first novel we had just published) introduced me to Andrew Salkey.
It was a portrait of a street in Trinidad's Port of Spain, in the form of stories which each centred on a street character; its language that of the street, and its balance between amusement and sympathy perfectly judged.
This probably tipped the balance with André, whose instinct was to distrust as 'do-gooding' my enthusiasm for a little book by a West Indian about a place which interested no one and where the people spoke an unfamiliar dialect.

For, much of what Theroux wrote is now confirmed by another old friend of Naipaul's, Diana Athill, who was his editor at Andre Deutsch when he started out as a writer in the 1950's.
Elsewhere, Athill recounts how he was offended when she suggested that two of the three central characters in his book Guerrillas which he submitted to Andre Deutsch in 1975 did not seem to work.
The next day his agent called to say that he had been instructed to "retrieve" Guerrillas because it seemed Andre Deutsch had "lost confidence " in his writing.

 STET: An Editor's Life - 12/18/2000 - Publishers Weekly
Athill, now an exuberant 83, looks back on her half-century in the business, beginning with her wartime fling with Hungarian ex-pat Andre Deutsch.
The affair was brief, but the relationship flourished, as the two founded first Allan Wingate (which "pounced" to publish The Naked and the Dead) and then, in 1952, the house that bore both Deutsch's name and the stamp of his ego.
Dealing with his temper and self-indulgence prepared Athill for playing "nanny" to a series of difficult writers, chief among them the "ugly drunk" Rhys; Morris Chester, an all-but-forgotten surrealist novelist plagued by "voices"; and Naipaul, whom Athill categorizes as the petulant and depressive.
