On November 22 1917 a German shell seriously wounded a man standing next to Crosby. As Crosby drove several wounded soldiers to a medical aid station his ambulance was destroyed by artillery fire. Miraculously Crosby was unhurt. He declared later that that was the night he changed from a boy to a man. After the war Crosby abandoned all pretence of living the expected life of a privileged Bostonian. Instead he moved to Paris with his wife and together they devoted themselves to art and poetry. Together they founded the Black Sun Press and published many important writers and poets in Paris. But because of his near death experience during the war Harry had a deep obsession with death until on December 10 1929 he and one of his many female intimates committed suicide. Some Crosby scholars maintain that Harry shot Josephine and several hours later shot himself. Others suggest that Josephine shot herself first leaving Crosby little choice but to follow suit.</p> Random House, hardcover

198424065<p>Paris in the 1920s Stearns Harold. Confessions of a Harvard Man. "The Street I Know" Revisited. A Journey Through Literary Bohemia Paris & New York in the 1920s &. Sutton West::: The Paget Press 1984. First Printing of the First Trade Edition. ISBN: 0920348335. A Near Fine copy without the issued mylar dust jacket. Harold Edmund Stearns critic and essayist was a member of the American expatriate group in Paris in the Twenties along with other notable exiles Ernest Hemingway Elliot Paul F. Scott Fitzgerald Glenway Wescott John Dos Passos Robert Coates. Stearns was the model for the character Harvey Stone in Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises. Stearns was known by his intimates as a "picturesque ruin" and what he left behind him in America was "the broken promise of a brilliant career—essays in The New Republic editorship of The Dial prime mover of the famous iconoclastic symposium Civilization in the United States." He confesses in this autobiography originally published as "The Street I Know" that he made a career of drink and an occupation out of borrowing money. For many chroniclers of the era Stearns was the quintessential expatriate--a symbol of the "exile" period in American literature. While Stearns had primarily literary interests his pattern of denial and affirmation that he wove into his life took the form of rejection of American values and then a sober re-examination of them. </p> The Paget Press,, hardcover

While living in Paris Stearns wrote for the Paris Tribune eventually penning a column in the paper on horse racing called "Peter Pickem."

199524561<p>London:: Andre Deutsch 1995. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Using previously unpublished letters and other research material Matthew Bruccoli does much to deflate the mythical love/hate relationship between two of the literary giants of expatriate years in Paris. Bruccoli who is a noted expert on the lives and works of these two writers masterly analyses their jealousies insecurities and accomplishments. Hemingway and Fitzgerald first met in Paris in 1925 and Fitzgerald who had already published The Great Gatsby recommended Hemingway to his editor Maxwell Perkins. Despite Fitzgerald's literary success their relationship was based on his admiration for Hemingway who was appalled by Fitzgerald's rocky marriage to Zelda and his lack of writing discipline. Bruccoli offers excerpts from Hemingway's letters to Fitzgerald and Perkins as evidence that Hemingway's unflattering portrait of Fitzgerald in A Moveable Feast was distorted. Although Fitzgerald's alcoholism strained their friendship Bruccoli argues that Hemingway's intense dislike of Zelda whom he blamed for her husband's heavy drinking and his harsh criticism of Fitzgerald's writing also weakened the tie between them.</p> Andre Deutsch, hardcover
