Tay Hohoff
Therese von Hohoff Torrey ("Tay Hohoff") (1898–1974) was a literary editor with the publishing firm J. B. Lippincott & Co.. Strong-willed and forceful, she worked closely with author Harper Lee over the course of nearly three years to give final shape to her classic novel To Kill A Mockingbird. After the commercial and literary success of the novel, she shielded Harper Lee from the intense pressure to write another one. She retired in the early 1970s from a senior editorial position at the firm and died in 1974.〔 == Personal life == Tay Hohoff was born on July 3, 1898 to Ernest Albrecht Hohoff Jr. and Anna Walter Hallock. She was raised in a multi-generational Quaker home near Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York City. She attended Brooklyn Friends, a Quaker school near her home. In 1919 she married Lewis Edgar Welsh (''b.'' 1888), an architect and artist. They had a son, John Hallock Welsh (''b.'' 1924), and a daughter, Anne Torrey Welsh (1922 - 1980). The marriage ended in divorce in 1929. In 1931 she married Arthur Haviland Torrey (1894 - 1973), a literary agent. On June 15, 1951 her daughter, Anne Torrey Welsh, married Dr. Grady Harrison Nunn, a professor of politic science at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Profile of Grady Harrison Nunn )〕 The Nunns named their only daughter for her grandmother: Therese von Hohoff Nunn. Tay Hohoff was small and wiry with a deep, gravelly voice. She was a chain-smoker. She died on January 5, 1974 in Manhattan.〔〔
