How can you use “mehta” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Books -- Remembering Mr. Shawn's "New Yorker": The Invisible Art of Editing , by Ved Mehta; Here But Not Here: A Love Story , by Lillian Ross;
I am not sure I have made it sound this way so far, but Mehta's book is completely engrossing--the most enjoyable book, I think, I have ever reviewed.
Mehta's writerly persona, a disarming mixture of the feline and the naive, is perfect for relating the little scandals that worried The New Yorker in the late '70s (plagiarism, frozen turbot), the drama of finding a worthy candidate to succeed the aging Shawn as editor, the purchase of the magazine by the evil Si Newhouse ("We all took fright") and the resultant plague of Gottliebs and Florios visited upon it, and what he sees as the final debacle: Tinaji.
Mehta evidently loved William Shawn at least as much as Lillian Ross did, although his love was not requited in the same way.
In the Los Angeles Times , ex- New Yorker writer Jeremy Bernstein accuses Mehta of glossing over Shawn's inadequacies as a manager and his fatal failure to groom a successor.
