In 1982, fresh out of college, Barbara Feinman Todd began her career as a copy aide at the Washington Post and was instantly hooked on the smell (cigarettes, newsprint), the noise (yelling editors, the clacking of typewriter keys), and the energy of the newsroom. At the Post, she worked for Bob Woodward, first as his research assistant in the paper’s investigative unit and later as his personal researcher for Veil, his bestselling book on the CIA.
A recommendation from Woodward led Feinman Todd to help his Watergate partner Carl Bernstein, who was working on finishing his memoir, Loyalties. She then assisted legendary editor Ben Bradlee on his acclaimed autobiography, A Good Life, and worked with First Lady Hillary Clinton on her bestselling book It Takes a Village. Feinman Todd’s involvement with Mrs. Clinton made headlines when the First Lady neglected to acknowledge her role in the creation of the book, and later, when a disclosure to Woodward about the Clinton White House turned up in one of his books. These events haunted Feinman Todd for the next two decades until she confronted her past and discovered something startling.
In her illuminating memoir—a compelling insider’s account reminiscent of This Town—Feinman Todd recalls these stories and more, offering a fresh, up-close look at government and journalism at the highest levels. Revealing what it’s like to get into the heads and hearts of some of our most compelling and powerful figures, Feinman Todd offers authentic portraits that go beyond the carefully polished public personas she helped them create. At its heart, Pretend I’m Not Here is a funny and poignant story of a young woman in a male-dominated world trying to find her own voice while eloquently speaking for others.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Even in a tiny apartment, there were enough rooms for Frannie to get into trouble. First, there was the bedroom.where it all began in such a casually romantic way. Next, the bathroom.where things took a suspicious turn. Finally, the living room.where she picked up the phone and prepared to break the news to the boyfriend she barely knew. When Frannie Mackenzie got sick all over the sweater section of a major urban retailer, she couldn't quite believe that this was a reaction to gray being this year's black. So she went back to her postage-stamp-sized apartment and took inventory. Jeans tighter? Yes. Boobs bigger? Yes. And the absolute proof-positive.the stick had turned blue. Frannie decides to give up cocktails, late nights, and anything else fun that the big city has to offer. But one thing — or rather person — she's not sure she's going to get to keep is the surprised father in the situation — an experimental jazz musician with the improbable name of Calvin, who'd taken off to Europe before Frannie figured out parenthood had awkwardly united them. Falling in love was the last thing that Frannie expected, and the happiest surprise of all. A fresh new voice in fiction crafts lovable characters in this young, funny tale of husband-hunting, job-hunting, and—toughest of all—apartment-hunting in New York.
