About This Item
London : Alan Ross, 1965. First edition. Recollections of "Fitzrovian Nights" - and of Francis Bacon, Cyril Connolly, Graham Greene, Nina Hamnett, John Minton, Elizabeth Smart, Stevie Smith, Tambimuttu, Dylan Thomas, Woodrow Wyatt, and many more - together with six of the best of the Maclaren-Ross short stories of the period, including "I Had to Go Sick" and "A Bit of a Smash in Madras". "With its glimpses of Connolly in his Bloomsbury office and Graham Greene at home in Clapham Common, [it] is one of the great literary source-books of the age" (D. J. Taylor in The Guardian, 7th December 2012). Post 8vo (21cm). [vi],344,[ii]pp. Plates. Portraits. Facsimiles. Original black cloth, blocked and lettered in gilt; edges spotted; a few spots to endpapers, but otherwise a very good and bright copy in the original pictorial dust-jacket - just very slightly rubbed and with hint of tanning, but also very good.
