It's Been a Good Life

Blurb

It's Been a Good Life is a book edited by Janet Asimov. The book, published by Prometheus Books, is a collection of Isaac Asimov's diaries, personal letters, and a condensation of his three earlier autobiographies:
In Memory Yet Green,
In Joy Still Felt,
I. Asimov: A Memoir,
Janet Asimov's primary role was in choosing the entries and occasionally editing them so the reader would know the people of whom he was speaking. In one case, her edited version is less explicit than Isaac's original, where Isaac and "a famous man" debate anti-Semitism. The famous man voices opposition to scientists since some had aided the Holocaust, and Isaac nearly replies that this is exactly the same as condemning the Jews for crucifying Jesus. The edited version omits the celebrity's name—Elie Wiesel.
