Description:Between 1944 and 1960, a second wave of expatriate American writers took up residence in Paris, some seeking the exiting ambiance of art and the bohemian life that Paris has offered earlier generations, some escaping from racist and materialistic aspects of the United States. While much has been written about the Lost Generation between the wars, little has been said about their postwar successors. And yet, what dazzling talent was present in Paris during this later period. Richard Wright, James Baldwin, James Jones, William Styron, Chester Himes, George Plimpton, John Ashbery, Harry Matthews, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Alexander Trocchi, Gregory Corso, Brion Gysin, and William S. Burroughs are among those who flocked to Paris and produced important and enduring poetry and fiction. Christopher Sawyer Laucanno, sees through the Paris of glamorous legend to the sometimes starker reality of those times in this entertaining, anecdotal account of the friendships and associations the writers formed, the cross-cultural influences they experienced, what they discovered, and what they brought back.The liberation of Sylvia Beach, and other tales of August 1944 --Living largely on vegetables and mostly without heat --Courage to be courageous: the last works and days of Gertrude Stein --The chosen exile of Richard Wright --James Baldwin: equal in Paris --The rebirth of Paris English-language publishing: little magazines, literature, and D.B.'s --The Paris Review --In Paris in a loud dark winter --The legacy of hurt: the odyssey of Chester Himes --Among their fellow Americans: Irwin Shaw and James Jones in Paris --Locus solus et socii: Harry Mathews and John Ashbery --At the Beat Hotel --The continual pilgrimageWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
