Book synopsis

The autobiography of Eugene Jolas, available for the first time nearly half a century after his death in 1952, is the story of a man who, as the editor of the expatriate American literary magazine "Transition," was the first publisher of James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake" and other signal works of the modernist period. Jolas' memoir provides often comical and compelling details about such leading modernist figures as Joyce, Stein, Hemingway, Breton, and Gide, and about the political, aesthetic, and social concerns of the Surrealists, the Expressionists, and other literary figures during the 1920s and 1930s. "Man from Babel" both enriches and challenges our view of international modernism and the historical avant-garde.
