Reprint of the original 1932 edition by Harrison of Paris. Signed "A reading copy of my easiest book from his friend the hagiographer" on the first page. Bump to top corner. Housed in the original issue slipcase. <br /> <br /> Glenway Wescott 1901-1987 was a novelist poet and essayist best known for his novels The Grandmothers and The Pilgrim Hawk. Associated with the expatriate literary community in Paris in the 1920s Wescott was part of the circle that included Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway. Though his fiction output slowed later in life he remained an important literary figure and a respected voice in American letters.<br /> <br /> Monroe Wheeler was a visionary curator publisher and cultural connector whose life bridged the worlds of art literature and design in the 20th century. Born in Illinois in 1899 he rose to prominence not just through formal training but through a cultivated network of artists and writers across Europe and the United States. Before his influential tenure at the Museum of Modern Art he co-founded Harrison of Paris a small press that produced exquisitely designed books in collaboration with literary giants like Gertrude Stein and Colette. At MoMA Wheeler revolutionized the role of exhibition design and museum publications transforming them into vehicles of both scholarship and aesthetic experience. His personal and professional life intertwined with key figures of modernism and through his quiet but forceful vision he helped define the cultural language of modern art in America.<br /> <br /> Together Wheeler and Wescott formed a lasting personal and intellectual partnership that spanned over six decades. They lived and traveled widely particularly in Europe often in the company of artists writers and thinkers. Their relationship was a rare example of a long-term same-sex partnership that endured in a time of widespread societal disapproval and they left behind a legacy of cultural influence through both their individual work and their shared life.
