‎La Route Des Flandres The Flanders Road.‎

During the German advance through Belgium into France in 1940 Captain de Reixach is shot dead by a sniper. Three witnesses involved with him during his lifetime in different capacities - a distant relative an orderly and a jockey who had an affair with his wife - remember him and help the reader piece together the realities behind the man and his death. A groundbreaking work for which Claude Simon devised a prose technique mimicking the mind's flexible thought processes "The Flanders Road" is not only a masterpiece of stylistic innovation but also a haunting portrayal - based on a real-life incident - of the chaos and savagery of war.

‎Psychiatric Newsletter. 26 of 31 issues 1948-50‎

‎New York: Psychiatric Newsletter 1948-50. First Edition. Twenty-six monthly issues comprising: Vol. 1 no. 1 April 1 1948 through Vol. 3 no. 2 May 1950 with the following issues absent from the run: I:5; 1:7; II:5; II:13; III:3. Mimeographed corner-stapled sheets; each issue ca. 6pp printed both sides of sheet. Some mild edgewear and fading but generally a well-preserved fully intact set Very Good or better. Published without editorial or authorial credits but our colleagues at Bolerium Books San Francisco have produced convincing evidence that Psychiatric Newsletter was the work of Dr. John L. Simon a Lincoln Battalion veteran of the Spanish Civil War and NYU-trained clinical psychiatrist. This assertion is confirmed in a lengthy obituary of Simon on the website of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives see Cary Nelson "John Leopold Simon" http://www.alba-valb.org/volunteers/john-leopold-simon. In addition to detailing Simon's meritorious service in the Spanish Civil War the obituary's author supplies considerable detail about Simon's later career which included legal defense for former Lincoln Brigade volunteers and pioneering medico-legal work in Puerto Rico in the late Fifties and early Seventies. <br/><br/>Simon's editorial intent is made clear in the Newsletter's inaugural issue: ".Many psychiatrists as is well known defend and support the working class as best they know how. To do this effectively however we psychiatrists must examine the theoretical premises on which our practical methods of treatment are based. In this Newsletter we hope.to make a useful contribution toward the orientation and especially the re-orientation of psychiatric practice in the light of the principles of historical dialectical materialism that is to say the ideology of Marx Engels Lenin Stalin and their comrades." As might be expected Simon's views frequently put him at odds with his contemporary mainstream colleagues in the psychiatric profession most notably Harry Stack Sullivan to whom Simon repeatedly refers as a "phony" and a "reactionary." As no authorial credit is given for articles we assume that Simon supplied most of the content. <br/><br/>Institutionally scarce with only two catalogued holdings in OCLC of which only one -- NYU's --- is complete; UC Davis holds a very partial run; a few more scattered examples appear in archival finding aids including the Herb Romerstein archive at the Hoover Institution Romerstein was an FBI anti-communist investigator who likely had Simon under surveillance a possibility alluded to in Nelson's previously-cited obituary. Simon's papers are at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana. Psychiatric Newsletter unknown books‎

Single horizontal fold; paper slightly toned and eroded at margins not approaching text; complete and Good. Right-wing broadside attacking Simon Gerson who had recently been appointed Assistant to Manhattan Borough President Stanley Isaacs. Gerson 1909-2004 was the first openly Communist politician to hold an appointed office in New York; despite vicious attacks such as this from various right-wing groups he succeeded in holding on to his post for three years. Following WW2 in which he served honorably Gerson returned to politics once again becoming embroiled in controversy when the Tammany machine blocked his appointment to fill deceased communist City Councilman Pete Cacchione's seat.<br/><br/>The graphic reproduced from the Brooklyn "Daily Eagle" shows Gerson conducting city business while a placid Josef Stalin oversees his work from the shadows. The drawing is signed by Doc Rankin a freelance editorial cartoonist who in addition to his long service on the Eagle is widely believed to have been the real-life figure behind the anonymous "Mr. Prolific" one of the most-published illustrators of pornographic "Tijuana Bibles" in the 30s and 40s.
