Sloane was the editor of A Life in Photography (Doubleday, 1963) by Edward Steichen.

Post-MoMA Exhibitions, Publications, and Anniversaries; Subseries VI.A. A Life in Photography; VI.A.2 "Correspondence with Doubleday etc." and the Grace M. Mayer Papers (Series III.E) of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.[18]

O'Conor Sloane had once been the editor of.[25][14][15] Sloane and Asimov had a productive working relationship that spanned a decade, as detailed in In Joy Still Felt: The Autobiography of Isaac Asimov, 1954-1978 (Avon Books & Doubleday, 1980),[21][26] although Sloane did ultimately decline to be the editor of Asimov's Guide to the Bible (Doubleday, 1968).[21][27]

As evidenced in part by a letter from Dalí to Sloane, dated July 22, 1965,[29] regarding the promotional efforts by Doubleday for Diary of a Genius, Dalí was not happy and in a subsequent luncheon with Sloane, Dalí threw potato chips in his face.[30]

Of interest

[edit]

Historical

[edit]

Sloane, a direct descendant of the O'Conors[129] of Connaught, Ireland, held a lifelong interest in both Irish and American history, politics and literature; his editorial work at Devin-Adair in particular, reflected this.[130][131][132] He believed that to be erudite in one's family history and heritage informed professional endeavors and contributions to society,[133] cultural sensibilities,[134][135] military service and civic responsibilities, political views, and religious faith. His grandmother, Isabel Mitchel Sloane, was the daughter of Jane Mitchel, née Verner and John Mitchel, the Irish patriot, political writer, newspaper editor and publisher, and the author of several books, including the Jail Journal (Cameron, Ferguson & Company, 1880); as well, she was the aunt of John Purroy Mitchel, the 95th mayor of New York City from 1914 to 1917. Sloane's uncle, John Eyre Sloane, married Thomas Edison's daughter Madeleine.[136][137] He was also a descendant of Auguste Chouteau,[120][121] the founder of St. Louis, Missouri[16] and his great-great uncle was Charles O'Conor[138] of New York City, a lawyer who battled "Boss" Tweed and Tammany Hall and was the first Catholic presidential nominee, a Bourbon Democrat, on the Straight-Out Democratic Party ticket with John Quincy Adams II in the 1872 United States presidential election.

Sloane's grandson is Justin T. O'Conor Sloane, a publisher and the editor of Worlds of IF magazine[139][140] and Galaxy Science Fiction magazine.[141][142][143][144]

Literary Correspondence

[edit]

Sloane corresponded with many notable figures[145] during his editorial tenure at Doubleday and Devin-Adair, some of which is preserved in the archival collections of Georgia O'Keeffe,[146][147] A. M. Sullivan,[91] James Rorty,[148] Selden Rodman,[149] Edward Steichen,[18] Robert Payne,[150] Max Eastman,[151][152] Parker Tyler,[153] Leah Brenner,[154] Harry Sylvester,[155] Austin Clarke,[13] Otto Grossman,[156][157] Frank Hughes,[158] Mary Kennedy,[159] Edward C. McAleer,[160] and others.[161][162]

The most elaborate historical account of science I have yet attempted arose out of a suggestion made to me in 1961 by T. O'Conor Sloane of Doubleday. His letter aroused the liveliest interest in me because when I was a nine-year-old and picked up the August, 1929 issue of Amazing Stories, the very first science-fiction magazine I ever read, its editor had been T. O'Conor Sloane. That editor had been an aged man at the time and had since died, but surely there must be some connection. There was! T. O'Conor Sloane III was the grandson of the onetime editor. Could I refuse under those circumstances?

She was born Ella Margaret Lunder in Canton, S.D. on May 7, 1918, to Paul M. and Ellida Algarheim Lunder. The Lunders were pioneering Norwegian farmers of the great Dakota Territory. She attended St Olaf from which she graduated as class salutatorian. She majored in English and drama, and was a member of the world renowned St. Olaf Choir. She taught high school in Pipestone, Minn. for several years before joining the Red Cross and being deployed to England, via the Queen Mary, during World War II. Margaret met her future husband, Thomas O'Conor Sloane III, a member of the American Air Force, in the officer's club in Grosvenor Square, London, shortly after she arrived. They became engaged two weeks later on Jan. 1, 1944, and were married in the small village of East Hendred, outside London, on Aug. 5, 1944 by an American chaplain. After the war, Thomas and Margaret took up residence in Westport. With her glorious mezzo soprano singing voice, she was in demand as a soloist with the Fairfield County Chorale and area churches. She also served as music critic for the South Shore Music Club and the Silvermine Quartet. In the late 50s, Margaret became director of the New Canaan Cooperative Nursery School and remained in that position for 20 years until her retirement. She moved to a retirement community in December 2008. Margaret is survived by her son, Thomas Sloane, and two daughters, Juliana Sloane Fulbright, and Catherine Sloane, as well as seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
