Those Drinking Days: Myself and Other Writers

Beschreibung

First edition. Octavo. 176pp. Fine in very slightly age-toned else fine dust jacket. A look at how profoundly alcohol affected the writing and careers of prominent American writers such as John Berryman, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Lowell, Thomas Wolfe, and many others. Tipped to the front fly, apparently by the author, is a full sheet of paper with a long inscription to his publisher Ben Raeburn: "To Ben - Whose fine editorial hand and publishing vision are powered by a wise heart and a spirit descended from the heavens of Whitman - and whose sense of unyielding excellence brought out the best I could give - and may we go on to even better things, My Friend - Don." Newlove had already published four well-regarded novels, but was thwarted when he tried to publish this controversial study of his fellow authors. Raeburn, no stranger to controversy - he had served two years in prison for his involvement with sending explicit material through the mail from his family's Falstaff Press - was eager to publish the book, and indeed it is now considered by most to be Newlove's most important book. A superb association.
