Miraculously Crosby was unhurt. He declared later that that was the night he changed from a boy to a man. After the war Crosby abandoned all pretence of living the expected life of a privileged Bostonian. Instead he moved to Paris with his wife and together they devoted themselves to art and poetry. Together they founded the Black Sun Press and published many important writers and poets in Paris. But because of his near death experience during the war Harry had a deep obsession with death until on December 10 1929 he and one of his many female intimates committed suicide. Some Crosby scholars maintain that Harry shot Josephine and several hours later shot himself. Others suggest that Josephine shot herself first leaving Crosby little choice but to follow suit.</p> Random House, hardcover

<p>Paris in the 1920s Stearns Harold. Confessions of a Harvard Man. "The Street I Know" Revisited. A Journey Through Literary Bohemia Paris & New York in the 1920s &. Sutton West::: The Paget Press 1984. First Printing of the First Trade Edition. ISBN: 0920348335. A Near Fine copy without the issued mylar dust jacket. Harold Edmund Stearns critic and essayist was a member of the American expatriate group in Paris in the Twenties along with other notable exiles Ernest Hemingway Elliot Paul F. Scott Fitzgerald Glenway Wescott John Dos Passos Robert Coates. Stearns was the model for the character Harvey Stone in Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises. Stearns was known by his intimates as a "picturesque ruin" and what he left behind him in America was "the broken promise of a brilliant career—essays in The New Republic editorship of The Dial prime mover of the famous iconoclastic symposium Civilization in the United States." He confesses in this autobiography originally published as "The Street I Know" that he made a career of drink and an occupation out of borrowing money. For many chroniclers of the era Stearns was the quintessential expatriate--a symbol of the "exile" period in American literature. While Stearns had primarily literary interests his pattern of denial and affirmation that he wove into his life took the form of rejection of American values and then a sober re-examination of them. </p> The Paget Press,, hardcover

[Paris in the 1920s] Cowley, Malcolm.
Exile's Return: A Literary Odyssey of the 1920's. Introduction by Leon Edel illustrated with contemporary photographs.
<p>New York:: The Limited Editions Club 1981. Limited Edition. A Fine tight copy without the glassine cover in a Fine slipcase. One of 2000 numbered copies and signed by both Cowley and photographer Bernice Abbott. Original prospectus laid-in. Malcolm Cowley's Exile's Return was first published in 1934 by Viking Press. Subtitled "A Literary Odyssey of the 1920s" the book explores the development of literature in the early twentieth century. Cowley's work includes his own personal narratives about his relationships with many of the best writers from the start of the century. Exile's Return is particularly concerned with the movement of these authors out of America after the Great War and then back again in the 1920s. This work leads up to the 1930s and allows us to see how the 30s understood their preceding decades. The adventures and attitudes shared by the American writers dubbed "The Lost Generation" are brought to life here by one of the group's most notable members. As Cowley details in this intimate anecdotal portrait in renouncing traditional life and literature they expanded the boundaries of art.</p> The Limited Editions Club, hardcover

[Paris in the 20s] Bruccoli, Matthew.
Fitzgerald and Hemingway: A Dangerous Friendship.
<p>London:: Andre Deutsch 1995. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Using previously unpublished letters and other research material Matthew Bruccoli does much to deflate the mythical love/hate relationship between two of the literary giants of expatriate years in Paris. Bruccoli who is a noted expert on the lives and works of these two writers masterly analyses their jealousies insecurities and accomplishments. Hemingway and Fitzgerald first met in Paris in 1925 and Fitzgerald who had already published The Great Gatsby recommended Hemingway to his editor Maxwell Perkins. Despite Fitzgerald's literary success their relationship was based on his admiration for Hemingway who was appalled by Fitzgerald's rocky marriage to Zelda and his lack of writing discipline. Bruccoli offers excerpts from Hemingway's letters to Fitzgerald and Perkins as evidence that Hemingway's unflattering portrait of Fitzgerald in A Moveable Feast was distorted. Although Fitzgerald's alcoholism strained their friendship Bruccoli argues that Hemingway's intense dislike of Zelda whom he blamed for her husband's heavy drinking and his harsh criticism of Fitzgerald's writing also weakened the tie between them.</p> Andre Deutsch, hardcover

[Paris in the 1920s] Windstaff, WW. W. W.
Lower Than Angels: A Memoir of War & Peace. With An Introduction by Stephen Longstreet.
<p>Silver Spring: :: Enigma Books 1993. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. When he wrote this memoir over sixty years ago the author planned a privately printed edition as gifts for his friends. He chose a pseudonym W.W. Windstaff to avoid embarrassing his socially prominent family. His true identity remains a secret. In a unique style Lower than Angels captures the essence of war with wonderfully descriptive passages of air combat and life in Paris and Rome during the 1920s. Later Windstaff vividly memorializes the expatriate experience. More than simply a memoir of fascinating times Lower than Angels is a raw and powerful portrayal of a man who could not overcome the trauma of war and survived with a veneer of cynicism aided by the bottle. Lower than Angles will certainly be appreciated for its value as an historical record. It will also captivate readers with its charm and delight a wide audience.</p> Enigma Books, hardcover

[Paris in the 1920s] Bald, Wambly.
On The Left Bank 1929-1933.
<p>Athens:: Ohio University Press 1987. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. Wambly Bald went to Paris in 1929 and worked for the Chicago Tribune where he wrote a weekly column called "La Vie de Boheme." In this column he tried to capture the energy and spirit of Montparnasse through his accounts of the model Kiki a young writer named Henry Miller Gertrude Stein and Aleister Crowley to name but a few. The serendipitously named Bald is a funny unpretentious writer and because his essays were meant as ephemera they aren't as dated as much as the ""serious"" reportage of the time. These columns were written for The Chicago Tribune like a somewhat cracked society column or in-house newsletter for a wild theater troupe. Bald was a friend of Henry Miller and Hemingway who apparently paid his passage back home in the 1930's. Apart from his wit Bald seems to have been a congenial companion who was almost always drunk. The irony is that this lush of a columnist outlived them all. A great first hand look at the expatriate community at its best and worst.</p> Ohio University Press, hardcover

[Paris in the 20s] Brassai.
Paris by Night.
<p>Paris in the 20s Brassai. Paris by Night. New York:: Pantheon 1987. First Printing of the First US Edition. ISBN: 0394563271. A Fine copy in a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with peeling to the jacket laminate. Arriving in Paris in 1924 Brassaï rapidly became a shrewd observer of nocturnal Parisian life. He sensed that photography was the tool that would allow him to document his vision of a dying society. Fascinated by the night which he found disconcerting enigmatic and suggestive Brassaï photographed its every aspect from police to prostitutes to the homeless to socialites all in a dreamlike and mysterious manner. In sixty-four images Brassaï succeeded in remarkably capturing this unique ambience. This book meticulously assembled by Brassaï himself signifies the birth of the artist. Brassaï originally from Hungary traveled to Paris in 1924 where he began to associate with the avant-garde artist community in particular with Picasso and the Parisian surrealist circles. He quickly established himself as one of the most original photographers of his generation. </p> Pantheon,, hardcover

[Paris in the 1920s] Meral, Jean.
Paris in American Literature. Translated by Laurette Long.
<p>Chapel Hill: :: University of North Carolina 1989. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket with two creases to the front flap. Meral explores the ways in which Paris constitutes an authentic literary subject and analyzes the differing responses to the city of such American writers as Henry James Edith Wharton Ernest Hemingway John Dos Pasos and Henry Miller. Central is that idea that although literary Paris reflects the changing fortunes of real Paris the Paris depicted remains a uniquely American one because the heroes of the works are expatriate Americans who apprehend the city through a foreign sensibility.</p> University of North Carolina, hardcover
