NEW YORK (AP) ― Sonny Mehta, the urbane and astute head of Alfred A. Knopf who guided one of the book world’s most esteemed imprints to new heights through a blend of prize-winning literature by Toni Morrison and Cormac McCarthy among others and blockbusters such as “Fifty Shades of Grey” and “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” has died at 77.
Mehta, the husband of author Gita Mehta, died Monday at a Manhattan hospital. Knopf said the cause was complications from pneumonia.
“Mehta’s contributions to the world of letters and publishing are without precedent,” the publisher said in a statement Tuesday. “His exacting standards ― in editorial, production, design, marketing, and publicity ― were a beacon to the book industry and beyond.”
