Houghton Mifflin, 1930. Hardcover. Acceptable. 1930. 382 pages. No dust jacket. This is an ex-Library book. Burgundy cloth with gilt lettering. Expected library inserts, stamps and inscriptions. Light tanning and water stains to pages. Cracks to guttering throughout, with exposed netting. Heavy tanning to text block edges. Moderate tanning and water stains to pastedowns and endpapers, with inscriptions and inserts to front. Boards have moderate shelf wear, with rubbing and marking. Light bumping to corners and moderate crushing to spine ends. Binding remains firm. Boards are slightly bowed and sunned., Houghton Mifflin, 1930, 2.5, Michael Joseph. Very Good. 140 x 220mm. Hardcover. 1970. 350 pages. Shelf wear<br>This collaboration--posthumous in McAlmo n's case--has proved amazingly successful. It gives us pictures o f two lives--and many surrounding lives--from different angles, a s if they had been taken with a stereoscopic camera. Thereby it g ives us an impression of depth and substantiality that have been lacking in other memoirs of Paris in the 1920's. -- Malcolm Cowle y, New York Times Book Review There was no more exhilarating dec ade in the history of modern letters than the twenties in Paris. They were all there: Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, Gertude Stein, James Joyce, John Dos Passos, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Mina Loy, T. S. Eliot, Djuna Barnes, Ford Madox Ford, Katherine Mansfield, Ali ce B. Toklas... and with them were Robert McAlmon and Kay Boyle. Their collaborative memoir began as a book written by McAlmon in 1934. In the late 1960s, Kay Boyle revised and edited the book, adding alternating chapters of her own. The result is a marvelous chronicle of the period as seen through two sets of perceptive e yes. As both writers tell wonderful anecdotes--of Joyce on his ev ening binges, of Stein holding court, of Hemingway at his most vi cious--they beautifully evoke 1920s Paris in this sad, funny, inf ormative, and nostalgic memoir. On his side of the dual autobiog raphy (an interesting device which works very well here) McAlmon tells fascinating stories... and he is always honestly direct. Yo u like the man and you like the book... On the other side, Kay Bo yle is a delightful writer with a style that can be dazzling, yet strong as steel... It is Miss Boyle who gives us the airy magic of Camelot-Paris simply by telling us the story of her hopelessly romantic life. -- Mario Puzo ., Michael Joseph, 1970, 2.75<
