<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>It was the fabulous summer of 1929 when the literary capital of North America moved to La Rive Gauche--the Left Bank of the Seine River--in Paris. Ernest Hemingway was reading proofs of "A Farewell to Arms," and a few blocks away F. Scott Fitzgerald was struggling with "Tender Is the Night." As his first published book rose to fame in New York, Morley Callaghan arrived in Paris to share the felicities of literary life, not just with his two friends, Hemingway and Fitzgerald, but also with fellow writers James Joyce, Ford Madox Ford, and Robert McAlmon. Amidst these tangled relations, some friendships flourished while others failed. This tragic and unforgettable story comes to vivid life in Callaghan's lucid, compassionate prose.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"His unobtrusive art is more subtle and his intelligence more mature than those of either [Hemingway or Fitzgerald]. Callaghan's book will surprise and shock the Hemingway fans." --Edmund Wilson<br><br>"If there is a better story writer in the world we don't know where he is." --"The New York Times"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Morley Callaghan is the author of" It's Never Over, The New Yorker Stories, Strange Fugitive, Such Is My Beloved, "and "The Vow." He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Canadian Governor General's Award for Fiction. He died in 1990.<BR>
