Treatments & Trips. This year's most noticeable category in nonfiction is the literary biography, notably Andrew Turnbull's Thomas Wolfe and Carlos Baker's Ernest Hemingway (Papa is also the subject of Irwin Blacker's novel, Standing on a Drum). Hart Crane, Stephen Crane, Lytton Strachey, Richard Wright, Nikos Kazantzakis, Nathanael West, André Gide and Samuel Taylor Coleridge also get full-length treatment; and there will be an autobiography from André Malraux, a second volume of Bertrand Russell memories, and a third of Harold Nicolson diaries...

In the 1950s, he painted in Paris, took a turn in Manhattan as a professional songwriter but periodically returned to canvases of Negro life. He began to use collage only in the 1960s...
...Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau was more or less on Hemingway's side. He proposed that Germany be broken up into autonomous agrarian states, that the Ruhr and Saar industrial complex be dismantled and carted away to Allied countries after its mines were flooded and dynamited, and that all German men between the ages of 20 and 40 be transported to Central Africa to work as slave laborers on a mammoth "international...
