MobyLives has confirmed tips coming in: Layoffs have re-commenced at Random House with the firing of Janice Goldklang, the publisher of its legendary Pantheon imprint. Goldklang had been with the company for more than 25 years. In the Random House reorganization announced on Black Wednesday (see the earlier MobyLives report), Pantheon had become part of the Knopf group to be headed by Sonny Mehta. The company is one of Random House’s most prestigious imprints, founded in 1942 by German emigre intellectuals Helen and Kurt Wolff, and published numerous works that are now considered classics, such as Boris Pasternak‘s Dr. Zhivago and The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass. It was run by Jacques Schiffrin, another European escapee from Hitler, then by Schiffrin’s son Andre Schiffrin, who ran the company after it was bought by Random House in 1960 (and documents his time there — and why he left — in his memoir A Political Education). Eventually Schiffrin was succeed by Goldklang, who in turn transformed the company into a more modern, slightly more commercial publisher of contemporary literature with a specialty in graphic novels such as Maus by Art Spiegelman and Chris Ware‘s The Acme Novelty Library . No word yet on who will replace Goldklang.
