A Second Flowering: Works and Days of the Lost Generation   Malcolm Cowley
Beautifully written, first-hand literary history and analysis of the generation of writers who flowered after World War I. First chapter is one of the best descriptions of WW I I’ve ever read. Also, an excellent description of the American expatriate colony in Paris in the 1920s. Made me want to re-read most of the eight authors covered, especially my favorite, Hemingway. Very well done, really enjoyed it.
