Sylvia Beach and the Lost Generation: A History of Literary Paris in the Twenties and Thirties, Paperback/Noel Riley Fitch

Noel Riley Fitch has written a perfect book, full to the brim with literary history, correct and whole-hearted both in statement and in implication. She makes me feel and remember a good many things that happened before and after my time. I'm glad to have lived long enough to read it. --Glenway Wescott
