Book summaryAfter Gertrude Stein's "lost generation" left Paris, the Beats moved in, bringing James Baldwin, Richard Wright, Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsburg, and others together in a loose expatriate federation with outsider writers from Europe. This book chronicles the history of the milieu, focusing largely on the role black writers--and the hundreds of other African-Americans who fled to Paris to escape American racism--played at the time. Media reviews"... Campbell illuminates some corners too-long obscured: Vernon Sullivan, black novelist whose 'I Spit on Your Graves' was France's top seller until the author was revealed to be Boris Vian, white trumpet player; the 'little magazines' of the fifties; Bourroughs' 'bid for total unpublishablity.'" |
