"Many of the contributors to The New York Review of Books have writt…en about intense, even transforming, personal and intellectual relationships they have had with fellow poets, writers, artists, composers, and scientists. THE COMPANY THEY KEPT brings together twenty-seven of these memoirs of extraordinary friendships. [] Seamus Heaney's remembrance of Thomas Flanagan has all the melancholy affection of a bereft and beloved son. Susan Sontag writes admiringly of Paul Goodman though they never really got along, while Derek Walcott recalls his parting of the ways with Robert Lowell and their bittersweet reconciliation. Larry McMurtry recounts how his former classmate Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters would show up years later on his doorstep, unannounced, and throw his family and neighborhood into hilarious chaos. Robert Oppenheimer tries to dispel the clouds of myth surrounding Albert Einstein: 'As always, the myth has its charms; but the truth is far more beautiful.' [] From Anna Akhmatova's dreamlike memories of wandering through Paris with the impoverished Amedeo Modigliani to the young Joseph Brodsky's first encounter in London with the rapid-fire conversation of Isaiah Berlin, these essays offer tantalizing glimpses of people whose inspiring originality and enlivening presence led to unforgettable friendships." [publisher copy] "An extraordinarily striking, moving and delicious collection of short essays. . . The writing in most of these essays is dazzling, the anecdotes and insights even more so. It is a superb collection of vignettes, and their variety throws more light on the diversity and possibilities than a treatise could." -The Financial Times. "This book will give hours of pleasure to those who love literature."--The Jewish Herald Voice. Read the pencils illustrating the cover for more of the line-ups. NF paperback ARC w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
