Alfred A. Knopf Jr., who left the noted publishing house run by his parents to become one of the founders of Atheneum Publishers in 1959, died on Saturday. He was 90, the last of the surviving founders, and lived in New York City. The cause of death was complications following a fall, his wife, Alice, said.
Alison Laine Knopf, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Knopf Jr. of Westport, Conn., was married yesterday to Thomas Christopher Insinger, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Insinger of Philadelphia. The Reverend Peter F. Bannan performed the ceremony at Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church in New York.
Police in seven states were looking for Alfred A. Knopf Jr., only son of leading Publisher (Borzoi Books), Gourmet, and Skier Alfred A. Knopf Sr. Young (19) Knopf had left home and a summer job with a printing firm, despondent over being refused by Princeton, and determined (as he said in a note) not to return till he made good. A week later, police found him in Salt Lake City, barefoot, hungry, and broke. He had started with $15, the last $2 of which someone had stolen from him while he was sleeping on a lawn in Utah. Bitterly, "Pat" Knopf noted that only truck drivers had helped him ("The rest of the people are a bunch of damned snobs") in his hitchhike attempt to reach Reno, where he "knew a lot of rich people" and hoped to get started on his own.
