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]

Teaching

Life

Sloane was born in South Orange, New Jersey, son of the photographer T. O'Conor Sloane, Jr. and Gertrude Larned Sloane, author of Fun with Folk Tales: Six Plays in Verse with Music and Songs (E.P. Dutton, 1942).[16][117] His grandfather was Dr. T. O'Conor Sloane, a scientist, author, professor, inventor and the editor of Amazing Stories from 1929-38. Sloane was a 1931 graduate of Regis High School on Manhattan's Upper East Side and attended Fordham University in The Bronx, from 1932 to 1937.[82][53] Sloane retired from Doubleday in November 1977 at 65 years of age.[113][118] He was a resident of Westport, Connecticut for 72 years.[16]

Engagement to the future 5th Marquise de la Gratitud: The Giroux Imbroglio

Shortly before the entrance of the United States into World War II, Sloane was engaged to be married in June 1941 to Doña Carmen de Arango of New York and Havana, Cuba, daughter of the Marques and Marquesa de la Gratitud, who became the 5th Marquise de la Gratitud (see also, Spanish nobility in Cuba).[119][120][121] Doña de Arango left Sloane for Robert Giroux, of Farrar, Straus and Giroux, his friend since Regis High School;[103][122] before Sloane, Doña de Arango had been engaged to Don Julio Lafitte, Count de Lugar Nuevo.[123]

Marriage during WWII

Sloane met and married his future wife of 59 years, (Ella) Margaret Sloane, née Lunder of Canton, South Dakota[82][124] while stationed in England during World War II, she as a nurse with the American Red Cross and he, as an intelligence officer, a Captain in the United States Army Air Corps; they had three children, Thomas Lunder, Catherine Maria and Juliana Margaret.[82][124][16][125] Mrs. Sloane had graduated in the top of her class from St. Olaf College, in Northfield, Minnesota, where she sang in the St. Olaf Choir.[125][126] She stood nearly as tall as her 6' husband, sang opera semi-professionally and hailed from a pioneer Norwegian-American farming family[125] involved in South Dakota politics; her brother, Lafe A. Lunder, was a four-term Republican state senator representing the 6th District in the 30th through 33rd sessions of the state Senate. Mrs. Sloane had taught high school English for several years before joining the Red Cross to assist in the war effort. In the late 1950s, she became director of the New Canaan Cooperative Nursery School and remained in that position for 20 years until her retirement.[125]

Military service after WWII

After the war, Sloane continued military service as a reservist,[127] achieving the rank of Lt. Colonel by the late 1950s and eventually retiring from the U.S. Air Force Reserve, he was buried with full military honors.[82][16][128]

Of interest

Historical

Sloane, a direct descendant of the O'Conors 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.[129][130] He believed that to be erudite in one's family history and heritage informed professional endeavors and contributions to society,[131] cultural sensibilities,[132][133] military service and civic responsibilities, political views, and religious faith. Accordingly, Sloane once required his grandson, Justin T. O'Conor Sloane to write down approximately 2,000 years of historical figures and events from the book by Dr. John O'Donovan, The O'Conors of Connaught: An Historical Memoir (Hodges, Figgis, and Co., 1891), one of the many books on Irish history in Sloane's personal library.[134][135] His grandmother, Isabel Mitchel Sloane, was the daughter of 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.

Literary Correspondence

Sloane corresponded with many notable figures during his editorial tenure at Doubleday and Devin-Adair, some of which is preserved in the archival collections of Georgia O'Keeffe,[139][140] A. M. Sullivan,[91] James Rorty,[141] Selden Rodman,[142] Edward Steichen,[18] Robert Payne,[143] Max Eastman,[144][145] Parker Tyler,[146] Leah Brenner,[147] Harry Sylvester,[148] Austin Clarke,[13] Otto Grossman,[149][150] Frank Hughes,[151] Mary Kennedy,[152] Edward C. McAleer,[153] and others.[154][155]

One of Sloane's editorial projects at Doubleday involved a request to the international law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell to examine the papers of former CIA director Allen Dulles concerning the Bay of Pigs Invasion, his letter caught the attention of the CIA and is archived in the National Archives Building, in College Park, Maryland.[156]

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.
