...pastries. Nor has it been decided whether the two poets who foamed at the mouth and had to be locked in the men's coatroom had eaten soap for fun or had faked an attack of the D.T.'s for the benefit of Leo and Gertrude Stein. And nobody knows just how much wine was drunk by Lolo, the donkey that painted impressionist canvases with its tail...
...William Faulkner since Mosquitoes in 1927, Commins in recent years cleared working space for the Mississippian in his Manhattan office and Princeton home, provided the right kind of stimulation for the novelist's production of A Fable and The Town.

Her collection is a reminder of what bargains went begging in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. Now snug...

There is some sentiment around today that young people, post World War II, parallel in their reaction to their problems the young people of post World War I. Instead of setting up shop at Gertrude Stein's or Pamplona, we are setting up shop inside ourselves, and watch out, brother, we are going to come up with some great literature.
