[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 Using previously unpublished letters and other research material Matthew Bruccoli does much to deflate the mythical love/hate relationship between two of the literary giants of expatriate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 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 20s] Donaldson, Scott.
Hemingway vs. Fitzgerald: the Rise and Fall of a Literary Friendship.
<p>Woodstock:: Overlook Press 1999. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. The legendary friendship--and rivalry--of these literary giants was compellingly chronicled by Hemingway in A Moveable Feast but as Hemingway reminded the reader that book is fiction. Here in Fitzgerald and Hemingway leading scholar Scott Donaldson goes beyond the mythologizing to create a true multi-faceted narrative of a great friendship fueled by admiration jealousy and liquor--a heady mixture of literary scholarship history and gossip. With a dazzling cast of characters that includes legendary Scribner's editor Maxwell Perkins the artist/socialites Gerald and Sara Murphy Zelda Fitzgerald and Hadley Hemingway Gertrude Stein John Dos Passos Archibald MacLeish agent Harold Ober publisher Horace Liveright and Lady Duff Twysden Scott Donaldson recounts the glory and pain of a writing life and the rise and fall of the great literary friendship of our time.</p> Overlook Press, hardcover

[Paris in the 1920s] Stearns, Harold.

<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

Harry Crosby the nephew of banker/financier J.P. Morgan died in 1929 at the age of 31 in a double suicide pact in a New York hotel with one of his mistresses. What brought this priviledged Bostonian to such an abrupt end is not so eay to explain. When America officially entered the First World War he volunteered with the U.S. Army Ambulance Corps. It was during the the Battle of Orme that an artillery shell exploded next to him killing everyone nearby but sparing Harry. From that point on he was obsessed with death and the brilliance of the sun. He moved to Paris int he early 20s living the bohemian life with his fellow expatriates indulging himself in all of the taboos as if to challenge death to take him. These diaries record his fascination with travel exotic intoxicants open marriage and above all--death. It has been said by a contemporary that when Harry died so died the Lost Generation.</p> Black Sparrow Press, hardcover

Dolly Wilde the neice of Oscar Wilde lived an extraordinary though creatively unproductive life in her uncle's shadow. But her literary short-comings did not prevent her from making her social mark on Paris in the 20s especially in the company of the renown lesbian salonist Natalie Barney. Dolly Wilde was a modernist gender-bender in the 1920s known for her self-detructive and magnetic personality which garnered her the title of the "beautiful loser of the Wilde family."</p> Basic Books, hardcover
