Knopf, Inc.--Index of Correspondents (S-U) The index contains box and folder number references to correspondence with individuals and firms. In some cases, the numbers refer to files about an author, and do not contain correspondence with the author. These entries are marked with an [S], for subject, just after the author's name. Each box and folder number following an [S] entry will only contain correspondence about the subject. Entries labeled [O] contain only outgoing letters to the individual or firm. Each number following an [O] entry will refer only to outgoing correspondence. For entries not marked with either an [S] or an [O], box and folder citations will refer to a mixture of correspondence to, from, and occasionally about the individual or firm. When an individual box and folder number is followed by (C), it means that specific citation refers only to a cross-reference. Corporate names sort before personal names. [O] = Outgoing correspondence only [S] = Correspondence about the person only (C) = Folder contains only cross-reference to other folder S S. A. Editrice Genio -- 48.7 S. A. Gorlinsky Ltd.

  • 'A True Magic Chamber': the Public Face of the Modernist Bookshop
    ‘A True Magic Chamber’: The Public Face of the Modernist Bookshop Andrew Thacker Modernist Cultures 11.3 (2016): 429–451 DOI: 10.3366/mod.2016.0149 © Edinburgh University Press www.euppublishing.com/loi/mod Abstract This article explores the role of bookshops in the construction of a public for modernism and analyses a number of bookshops committed to promoting modernist culture, such as those run by Sylvia Beach (Shakespeare and Company), Adrienne Monnier (La Maison des Amis des Livres), and Frances Steloff (Gotham Book Mart). It also considers how the bookshop is a fulcrum between commerce and culture, a key issue for contemporary modernist studies, and discusses aspects of bookshop culture that seem to operate ‘beyond’ the market. One example is that of We Moderns, a catalogue issued by the Gotham Book Mart in 1940 and which represents a fascinating example of the print culture of the modernist bookshop. Drawing upon the work of Mark Morrisson and Lawrence Rainey, the article also evaluates the position of the bookshop within debates around modernism and the public sphere. The Business of the Magic Chamber A member of the public strolling through Paris in the early 1920s who drifts onto the Left Bank in search of culture, might find themselves in the triangle of small streets between the grander avenues of Boulevard St. Michel and the Boulevard St. Germain in the 6th Arrondissement. These are the streets around the Sorbonne and, as such, there are many bookshops servicing the university. Thinking it might be fun to buy a book, a modern or contemporary book, they stroll up Rue de l'Odéon, across from the National Theatre, spying a likely looking bookshop and decide to enter.

  • Edward Gorey Phantasmagorey, 1974 Pen and Ink with Collage on Paper Collection of Clifford Ross
    Edward Gorey Phantasmagorey, 1974 Pen and ink with collage on paper Collection of Clifford Ross Phantasmagorey is a play on the term “phantasmagoria” which means: “a constantly shifting, complex succession of things seen or imagined.” Like a phantasmagoria, this series of six images reveals dreamlike glimpses into Gorey’s imagination. Each vignette shows a common motif in Gorey’s work, including a ghostly femme fatale, a cat sitting atop a stack of books, and a fur-coated self-portrait. This drawing was made for an exhibition of the same name, held at the Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University, in 1974. An art student named Clifford Ross, now a contemporary artist in his own right, curated the first survey of Gorey’s work for his senior thesis. 501 Harry Benson Scottish, born 1929 Edward Gorey in His New York City Apartment with Cat, 1978 Gelatin silver print Collection of the artist Benson’s photographic portrait offers a glimpse into Gorey’s apartment in Manhattan’s Murray Hill neighborhood, where he lived from 1953 to 1983. Gorey displayed his collection of fine art—including a print by Edvard Munch and drawings by Balthus—next to found objects that he treated as works of art, such as a weathered crucifix and a needlepoint of a skull. Out and about in the city, he took in movies, theater, dance, and art exhibitions. At home, he retreated to his creative sanctuary filled with obscure books, fine art, and his beloved cats. Edvard Munch Norwegian, 1863–1944 The Woman and the Bear, 1908–9 Lithograph on wove paper mounted on wove paper Bequest of Edward Gorey, 2001.13.61 Munch created this image to illustrate his mythical story Alpha and Omega.
