Gebundenes Buch

The Man Who Would Marry Susan Sontag

And Other Intimate Literary Portraits of the Bohemian Era

Beschreibung

Young Air Force veteran Edward Field, fresh from combat in WWII, threw himself into New York's literary bohemia, searching for fulfillment as a gay man and poet. This memoir opens the closet door to reveal some of the most important writers of his time. It brings back a forgotten era, postwar Bohemia, bawdy, comical, romantic, sad, and heroic.
