[Paris in the 1920s] Fitch, Noel Riley
Sylvia Beach and the Lost Generation. A History of Literary Paris in the Twenties & Thirties.
New York:: Norton 1983. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Fitch has created a literary chronicle of the most creative decades of the twentieth century as seen through the life and literary engagements of bookshop owner Sylvia Beach. In 1917 Sylvia Beach walked into a Paris bookshop where she met Adrienne Monnier the woman who would become her life companion. In 1919 Beach opened her own English-language bookshop and lending library Shakespeare and Company which would become the cynosure of an entire literary movement. Literary expatriates were drawn to her shop but her most celebrated literary efforts are those she made on behalf of her literary idol James Joyce undertaking the publication of Ulysses. Noel Riley Fitch uses Beach as the focal point for a fascinating portrait of an artistic community filled with anecdote after anecdote. From the intellectual salons at Natalie Barney's residence--of which "William Carlos Williams would recall only the lesbian women dancing together"--to the seemingly constant presence of Ezra Pound Fitch's account solidifies the importance of the time and place he so vividly re-creates.

The Great Good Place: American Expatriate Women in Paris.
<p>New York:: Norton 1991. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. For the five American expatriate women profiled in Wiser's superb sparkling group portrait Paris was a social laboratory in which to lose or remake oneself. Mary Cassatt's fertile relationship with Degas gave way to her sour last years of exile in France when she progressively lost her eyesight. Edith Wharton cool-headed observer of society's ironies flung herself into a dalliance with English journalist Morton Fullerton who at the time was engaged to his first cousin while Wharton neglected her own clinically depressed husband. Flapper Caresse Crosby shared the opium highs and sexual excesses of her poet husband Harry then managed their Black Sun Press after his suicide. Daredevil Zelda Fitzgerald envied famous novelist husband F. Scott who expropriated her mental breakdown as material for his fiction. Josephine Baker illiterate teenage chorus girl from St. Louis came closest to becoming a "changeling hybrid Parisienne." In marvelous vignettes Wiser The Crazy Years creates an iridescent prism refracting the City of Light's special alchemy and ambiance. From Publisher's Weekly.</p> Norton, hardcover

[Paris in the 1920s] Stearns, Harold E
The Street I Know.
<p>Paris in the 1920s Stearns Harold E. The Street I Know. New York: Lee Furman Inc. 1935. First Printing of the First Edition. A Near Fine tight copy in Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with edge wear and creasing to the front panel. Stearns was a prolific journalist and writer who early in his career wrote for the New Republic and Dial magazine before moving to Paris in 1921 where he penned articles and columns for the New York Herald. Stearns symbolized the bitter emptiness the bewildered desperation of the generation that had survived a war only to face a world bent on forgetting its political sins in lust and liquor or whatever anodyne the moment might bring. Those strange futile years have been immortalized in the fiction of Hemingway and Fitzgerald; but here in Stearn's narrative they make their way into biography. No one has written more soberly about that drunken state of mind; no one has been more continent in describing these excesses; no one has romanticized less about the absurd romantic attitudes of the literary Bohemia.Stearns became the model for the character Harvey Stone in Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. </p> Lee Furman Inc., hardcover

[Paris in the 20s] McAuliffe, Mary
When Paris Sizzled. The 1920s Paris of Hemingway Chanel Cocteau Cole Porter Josephine Baker and Their Friends.
Lanham:: Rowman & Littlefield 2016. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight unread copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. Mary McAuliffe traces a decade that saw seismic change on almost every front from art and architecture to music literature fashion entertainment transportation and most notably behavior. The epicenter of all this creativity as well as of the era’s good times was Montparnasse where impoverished artists and writers found colleagues and cafés and tourists discovered the Paris of their dreams. Major figures on the Paris scene—such as Gertrude Stein Jean Cocteau Picasso Stravinsky Diaghilev and Proust—continued to hold sway while others now came to prominence—including Ernest Hemingway Coco Chanel Cole Porter and Josephine Baker as well as André Citroën Le Corbusier Man Ray Sylvia Beach James Joyce and the irrepressible Kiki of Montparnasse. Les Années folles also saw an undercurrent of despair as well as the rise of ruthless organizations of the extreme right aimed at annihilating whatever threatened tradition and order—a struggle that would escalate in the years ahead.
