Hemingway's Paris af Morrill Cody (Bog)
Titel: Hemingway's Paris af Morrill Cody (Bog) Forfatter: Morrill Cody Genre: Memoir Forlag: Tower Sammendrag: Captures all the flavor of a golden era—the scandals, brawls and love affairs of the famed celebrities and literary giants. Type: Paperback Captures all the flavor of a golden era.-- In the wildest day of Paris after World War I, the gathering place for literary and artistic celebrities were the cafes and bars on the Left Bank. The most famous bartender in Paris was Jimmie Charters. He knew intimately all the celebrities, the least not being Earnest Hemingway, who wrote the introduction to this astonishing collection of Jimmie's memoirs. To Lost Generation aficionados, Jimmy "the Barman" Charters needs no introduction. For those of lesser faiths, he tended bar at one of the Paris expatriates' favorite watering holes, the Dingo. In this reprint from 1934, Jimmy reminisces about those legendary days, and nearly everyone who played a part in them gets a nod. Many of these stories won't be found anywhere else. Jimmy serves his memories the same way he served drinks: some straight up, some on the rocks, and some with a twist. Hemingway's introduction alone makes it worth the price. Morrill "Bill" Cody was born in Lake Forest, Illinois and attended secondary school in France. After graduating from Amherst College in 1921, he returned to Paris as a journalist, living and working with the American artists and writers of the "Lost Generation." In the 1930s, Cody worked as a magazine editor and writer in New York, contributing to the Literary Digest among other publications. He published This Must Be the Place, a memoir of Montparnasse, in 1934, and Passing Stranger, a novel, in 1936. Cody joined the Foreign Service in 1941, holding diplomatic posts in Paraguay, Argentina, Mexico, Washington, Paris, Stockholm, and Madrid. Before retiring from the Service in 1963, he served as assistant director of the United States Information Agency under Edward R. Murrow. In his later years, Cody headed the Paris bureau of Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe, and wrote two more books, The Favorite Restaurants of an American in Paris (1966) and The Women of Montparnasse (1984). He died in a nursing home in Wheaton, Maryland after a lengthy illness.
