Editorial Reviews

Review

“A very distinguished sidelight on the passing literary scene, perceptive, humorous, entertaining, written by a critic and editor who was one of the group of which he writes.” —Kirkus.

 

 



 “Not a sentimental picture of Paris, it is rather an attempt to explain the reasons for the exodus and return to the United States. Recomrnended.”—Library Journal.



 “Enter­taining and analytic accounts of Cocteau, Hemingway, Picasso, Gertrude Stein, Pirandello; and an ingenious explanation of Ezra Pound’s apostasy.”—Theatre Arts

4.0 out of 5 stars Complements Exile's Return, January 28, 2001
This review is from: Paris Was Our Mistress: Memoirs of a Lost & Found Generation (Arcturus Books Paperbacks Series) (Paperback)
Samuel Putnam (1892-1950), best known as a translator of Don Quixote, went to France in about 1927 and lived there, with his wife and child, till 1934. He relates his encounters with Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Henry Miller, Joyce, Pirandello, and many others and the account is of interest. He talks more about art, including Picasso, than interested me, but all in all this is not a bad book to read.
