The Way It Wasn't

An alphabetical, illustrated autobiography of people, concepts, events, vignettes, and moments, constructed from printed ephemera and short entries, eg G is for 'Greed', 'Girls', 'Brendan Gill', 'Allen Ginsberg', 'Gays', 'Romain Gary', 'Greek', 'Germans' and 'Girls', or, collectively, assembled 'from the files of James Laughlin' and, I suspect, in the throes of the modernist dream of being definitive by chance; edited by Barbara Epler and Daniel Javitch; 243pp., indexed and illustrated.
