Summary: "A biography--thoughtful and playful--of the man whofounded New Directions and transformed American publishingJames Laughlin--a poet, publisher, world-class skier--wasthe man behind some of the most daring, revolutionaryworks in verse and prose of the twentieth century. As thefounder of New Directions, he published Ezra Pound^'s TheCantos and William Carlos Williams^'s Paterson; he broughtHerman Hesse and Jorge Luis Borges to an Americanaudience. Throughout his life, this tall, charismaticintellectual, athlete, and entrepreneur preferred to stayhidden. But no longer--in ^"Literchoor is My Beat^": JamesLaughlin and New Directions, Ian S. MacNiven has given usa sensitive and revealing portrait of this visionary andthe understory of the last century of American letters.Laughlin--or J, as MacNiven calls him--emerges as animpressive and complex figure: energetic, idealistic, andhardworking, but also plagued by doubts--not about hisability to identify and nurture talent, but about his ownworth as a writer. Haunted by his father^'s struggles withbipolar disorder, J threw himself into a flurry ofactivity, pulling together the first New Directionsanthology before he^'d graduated from Harvard andpurchasing and managing a ski resort in Utah. MacNiven^'sportrait is comprehensive and vital, spiced with EzraPound^'s eccentric letters, J^'s romantic foibles, andanecdotes from a seat-of-your-pants era of publishing nowgone by. A story about the struggle to publish only thebest, it is itself an example of literary biography at itsfinest^"-- Provided by publisher | | หัวเรื่อง |
