Hemingway, Ernest : And To The United States / New York Chronicle in The Transatlantic Review

Thomas Selzer Inc., NY, 1924

8vo. Entire issue, Volume I, Number V, May - June, 1924, in original wraps printed in blue, light general wear-only, overall very clean and bright, with spine mildly darkened, and a slight nick at spine tail, both as noted in pictures; yapp ends fully intact, with none of the usual chipping or tearing. An unusually nice copy. The author's non-fiction commentary on contemporary happenings in America, including literary criticism. From the opening paragraph, "An American citizen, not yet 35 years old, of French-German-Jewish parentage, writing in the Paris Sunday Literary Supplement of the World's Greatest Newspaper under the name of Louis Gay says: 'Remember that less than twenty years ago the reading matter to be found in the home of the average American of means -- the American who sent his boys to college -- was composed almost entirely of the New England poets, the Christian Register, and the Youth's Companion...' As Mr. Gay is frequently denunciatory, rarely unpersonal, and always insistent on the lack of a cultural background of almost everyone of whom he writes, the above selection from his article will have a certain biographical significance in the critical study of American Criticism which should be written to carry to its end the present phenomenon of American letters. For every writer produced in America there are produced eleven critics." Issue also includes Part II of Gertrude Stein, The Making of Americans, plus Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Paul Morand, A. E. Coppard, Luke Ionides, Catherine Wells, Ethel Colburn Mayne, D. Chaucer, Ford Madox Ford R Edison Page, C. A. Cingria, Satie, and Dyneley Hussey. See Hanneman C156. Very scarce.. Magazine. Book Condition: VG. Binding: Soft cover
