Reporting or lying — it hardly matters when the reader is lost in the book's mischief. Glassco, whose bourgeois parents disapproved of his artistic tendencies, was 18 and beautiful when he arrived in Paris in with his friend Graeme Taylor, both of them determined to be writers. Glassco had a teenager's appetites, a chancer's nose for free booze and the keen eye of an aphorist on the make. Hemingway was "a gutless Prometheus who has tied himself up with string," while Gertrude Stein fared no better: "A rhomboidal woman dressed in a floor-length gown apparently made of some kind of burlap [who] gave the impression of absolute irrefragability. If Glassco is to be believed and why not , his life in Paris was a parade of gin fizzes, treatments for venereal disease and the search for a new couch to sleep on. He largely avoided writing, save for a smutty pamphlet for a publisher specializing "in books dealing with shoes, fans and ladies' underlinen. Quayle, a "miserable mangeuse d'hommes," but really it was Paris that held his heart. I would pull it down to recite a passage to a new reader or just to remind myself what it is to be so love in with writing. For that, more than anything, is what the book is about: The characters, real and fictional, argue constantly about novels and plays and poetry, usually with more bile than sense, but always with love. They argue about the merits of surrealists, T. Eliot, Thomas Hardy and writers lost to history. They try to write themselves and curse the results. At one point, Glassco was kicked out of a party at Gertrude Stein's for daring to disagree with her about Jane Austen. Later, his friend Robert McAlmon cornered Morley Callaghan and said — drunkenly, I imagine, everything in this book happens drunkenly — "You can't admire Joyce and write like Hemingway. If you do, you're a whore. I must have returned the book to Val at some point, certainly before she died in Strangely, I don't remember giving it back. I went searching for another copy. I think it fell out of print, but it was reissued by the New York Review of Books in Now I have Memoirs of Montparnasse on my Kindle, properly my property, where I can highlight passages to my heart's content and snort out loud at the best bits.

First time logging in? Forgotten your details? Yes, he says he was in buildings in Paris that were not yet built in when he returned to Montreal. Yes, the year and a half he spent in Montparnasse was only about eight months, the rest passing on the Riviera, in Spain, and a little in Limburg—and the last month in Paris was in the hospital where they were treating him for tuberculosis. And yes, all those wonderful affairs with exciting women are a little suspect since he was certainly homosexual. So what? Later I found that a great many other young writers felt and behaved the same way. Indeed Paris is a very difficult place for anyone to work unless one is dull and serious. Instead, he got the sense of the place and ultimately got it down in black and white, probably thirty years after he left, not the two or three he says in his introduction. This was undoubtedly good luck for the reader. Glassco himself admits that he no longer recognizes Buffy his nickname in those days as himself but as a character in a novel he may have read. And that, I think, is the point. The memoirs would not be nearly as interesting, nor would the adventures and liaisons be as engaging, had he merely kept a diary or just stuck to the truth. Like jesting Pilate, he did not stick around to hear what the truth might be. And within this small city, the expatriates inhabited a kind of floating village or a ring of campfires, so it was possible to meet just about everyone as they cycled through Paris for their chance at the brass ring or just a good time. He pretended to be a writer at nineteen, but he became one, and a good writer at that, years later. Memoirs of Montparnasse – New York Review Books In , nineteen-year-old John Glassco escaped Montreal and his overbearing father for the wilder shores of Montparnasse. He remained there until his money ran out and his health collapsed, and he enjoyed every minute of his stay. It was on this more lengthy and eventful stay, in the city he loved, that he based his Memoirs of Montparnasse , which was published, and presented by Glassco, as an authentic memoir though it was later discovered to be in many respects a work of fiction. Louis Begley is a novelist and retired lawyer. It should be read at last and recognized as the most dramatic of the many narratives dealing with Paris in the 's. It's wonderful to see John Glassco's charming Memoirs of Montparnasse getting the international recognition it deserves. Like its author—whom I knew quite well in the s—the book is a loveable and eccentric rogue, fond of style and up to mischief. It never fails to entertain. Here are the memoirs It is all there—the twenty-four-hour days, the burning of candles at both ends, the obsessions and compulsions, the strange divorce from what was going on in the world, the crazy parties, the beautiful fool's paradise from which the Depression ultimately awakened us. Memoirs of Montparnasse is one of the most joyous books on youth—the thrill and the gall and the adventure of it. He returned to Montreal, where he spent much of the next three years at Royal Victoria Hospital under the treatment of Edward William Archibald. Though Glassco writes in his Prefatory Note that Memoirs of Montparnasse was composed between and , it was in fact written more than three decades later, in part as a response to an unflattering portrait in Morley Callaghan's That Summer in Paris While Glassco made no attempt to hide the fact from friends, and the memoir contains clues that things aren't quite as claimed, it wasn't until after his death in that the truth of its composition came to light. With the revelation has come a reappraisal; what was once described by literary critic Malcolm Cowley as "fresher and truer to the moment" than any other memoir of expatriate Paris has come to be seen as the vivid recollections of a wiser and older man. They are tinged with the writer's melancholic recognition of the end of his youth. The best selling of Glassco's non-pornographic works, Memoirs of Montparnasse has enjoyed several editions, the most important being one heavily annotated by his friend Michael Gnarowski Toronto, The memoir has been translated into German, Spanish and Japanese, and holds the distinction of being the only English Canadian book to have received two French translations.

  • Gertrude Stein and Her Audience: Small Presses, Little Magazines, and the Reconfiguration of Modern Authorship
    GERTRUDE STEIN AND HER AUDIENCE: SMALL PRESSES, LITTLE MAGAZINES, AND THE RECONFIGURATION OF MODERN AUTHORSHIP KALI MCKAY BACHELOR OF ARTS, UNIVERSITY OF LETHBRIDGE, 2006 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of English University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Kali McKay, 2010 Abstract: This thesis examines the publishing career of Gertrude Stein, an American expatriate writer whose experimental style left her largely unpublished throughout much of her career. Stein’s various attempts at dissemination illustrate the importance she placed on being paid for her work and highlight the paradoxical relationship between Stein and her audience. This study shows that there was an intimate relationship between literary modernism and mainstream culture as demonstrated by Stein’s need for the public recognition and financial gains by which success had long been measured. Stein’s attempt to embrace the definition of the author as a professional who earned a living through writing is indicative of the developments in art throughout the first decades of the twentieth century, and it problematizes modern authorship by re- emphasizing the importance of commercial success to artists previously believed to have been indifferent to the reaction of their audience. iii Table of Contents Title Page ………………………………………………………………………………. i Signature Page ………………………………………………………………………… ii Abstract ……………………………………………………………………………….. iii Table of Contents …………………………………………………………………….. iv Chapter One …………………………………………………………………………..... 1 Chapter Two ………………………………………………………………………….. 26 Chapter Three ………………………………………………………………………… 47 Chapter Four .………………………………………………………………………... 66 Works Cited .………………………………………………………………………….. 86 iv Chapter One Hostile readers of Gertrude Stein’s work have frequently accused her of egotism, claiming that she was a talentless narcissist who imposed her maunderings on the public with an undeserved sense of self-satisfaction.

  • JOHN GLASSCO (1909-1981) and His Erotic Muse
    JOHN GLASSCO (1909-1981) and his Erotic Muse Leon Edel IΌΗΝ GLASSCO CULTIVATED THE LYRIC and erotic muses — Euterpe and Erato. He was, above all, in his later years, a tough-minded poet who mingled reflection with satire, and most of his reflections were on the wear- and-tear of life, the crumbling of man's creations, old houses — like the body — disintegrating in a mournful landscape, mixed with sweet and bitter memories and delicate observations; the triumph of the dust and yet somehow out of death and decay the hardness of reality : It is the world that counts, the endless fever And suffering that is its own and only end. The elegance and polish, rhythm and cadence, the perfect pitch, as it were, is curiously to be found also in his erotic writings which are largely in prose. John Glassco — he had been Buffy to us from his earliest years — made a distinction between "porno" written as art and that which is scribbled as commerce. Yet even when he attempted to write for commerce he proved unfailingly delicate and aristocratic: he wrote in the tradition of Cleland, or the Contes drolatiques, or the French elegants. He captured the spirit of the conte leste, the frivolous and "improper" fantasy, for which the Gallic world has so many more synonyms than we have. The phallus was for Buffy a wanton and pretty bird of flight and repose ; the libido an exquisite gift of nature. His erotic muse was forever young, born of pre-adolescent titillation and exposure. There are brief backward glances in various of Buffy's prose writings — "in view of my own upbringing" and "my own early memories supplied much of the psychology," and an allusion to "that susceptible teen-ager who could never say no to anyone." These brief autobio- graphical references allow us to extrapolate some early governess in Montreal's Simpson Street, where Buffy was born, who perhaps administered spankings that had erotic overtones; or some early housemaid taken with the charms of the juvenile Buffy — he had so many.

This show was notable for acquainting the New York School with the medium as its artists would go on to embrace collage, creating objects that ranged from small compositions of handmade paper to mural-sized works of torn and reassembled canvas. Despite the significance of this development, art historians consistently overlook collage during the era of Abstract Expressionism. This project examines four artists who based significant portions of their oeuvre on papier collé during this period (i.e. the late 1940s and early 1950s): Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Anne Ryan, and Esteban Vicente. Working primarily with fine art materials in an abstract manner, these artists challenged many of the characteristics that supposedly typified collage: its appropriative tactics, disjointed aesthetics, and abandonment of ―high‖ culture.

  • Introduction
    Elke Mettinger, Margarete Rubik and Jörg Türschmann Introduction The Parisian twenties – the années folles – are a perfect example of the Bak- htinian chronotope: a neatly defined period starting with the post-war opti- mism of creating something radically new, and ending with the American stock market crash. In between Paris witnessed an unequalled decade of artistic and creative achievements that was – according to the American ex- patriate Archibald MacLeish – part of the “greatest period of literary and artistic innovation since the Renaissance” (qtd. in Fitch, Beach 12). Paris – as Gertrude Stein famously remarked – “was where the twentieth century was” (11). But why did Paris, of all cities in the world, attract so many artists from all over the globe and offer such a fruitful ground on which the avant-garde could develop and prosper? From the late 19th century onwards Paris had been a congenial site for the needs of bohemian life. Between 1910 and 1920 the Montparnasse began to replace the Montmartre as the heart of intellectual and artistic Paris. It was above all Picasso who transferred modern art from the Montmartre to the Montparnasse. Impoverished painters, sculptors, photographers, novelists, poets, composers, dancers from all over the world chose to live in cheap studios and work in the creative atmosphere of literary and artistic cafés around the Carrefour Vavin, later renamed Place Pablo Picasso. The English journalist Sisley Huddleston (in Fitch, Cafés 16) living in Paris characterized the French cafés of the 1920s and 1930s like the Dôme, the Sélect, the Cou- pole or the Rotonde as the matrix for art and literature.
