I know I can't wait for my next trip to Powell's so that I can bring home some more lost generation treasures. Thought it would be fun to see what we each pick up here and there.

By the way, New York Review Books is having sale and they have published some great lost generation finds like:
Apartment in Athens by Glenway Wescott
Between Meals by A.J. Liebling
Paris and Elsewhere by Richard Cobb
Paris Stories by Mavis Gallant
Varieties of Exile by Mavis Gallant
Unfortunately, I don't think any of those particular titles are on sale, but their website is worth a look (http://www.nybooks.com/nyrb/).

Another amazing thread idea!
Wouldn't you know, I ordered an NYRB catalogue not two days ago...now I'm doubly excited for it to arrive.
Thank you for the Richard Cobb suggestion; I'd never come across it before.

Black Sun : the brief transit and violent eclipse of Harry Crosby by Geoffrey Wolff is another NYRB one.

Scott Pack's blog "Me & My Big Mouth" told of a new one: "Paris" in the "city-lit" series, published by oxygen books. It's available for pre-order on Amazon UK site: www.amazon.co.uk Looks great. They don't have a U.S. publisher yet.

My current LG interest is Solita Solano, the woman with whom Janet Flanner fled abroad. Solano's novels are hard to find, but I am interested in seeing what the stories she tells might suggest about moving abroad. I am reading This Way Up (1927).

Craig, you always find a new (to me) character of the LG. Solano's works seem a bit heavy to me but, I trust, worth the challenge . Amazon, here I come.. Thanks, Judie
