Dear Craig, Never have I lingered so long in reading a book as I have in yours. I like to think I know a lot about Paris in the '20's and its resultant "Lost Generation", but I have gleaned ever so much more information from "Writing the Lost Generation". Characters of the time, whom I chose to know only to their "first layers" have been re-introduced to me as important to their time. Bravig Imbs is an example,as is Samuel Putman, both deserving of in-depth study by me.
I gave up on cataloging all the new info onto my pc & am now flagging the important pages for future incorporation! Your book is a flurry of neon pinks, greens, yellows & purples marking the pages.
I continue to marvel at your composition of blending people, times & places as you have done. Bravo! Judie
