Features: Exiles Return: The Literary Bohemian Life of the 1920s. Without a doubt, this is the best book about this generation. It is a crucial generation, not only for American literature but also for the entire American culture of the 20th century. — The New York Times Malcolm Cowley is undoubtedly the most outstanding and intelligent researcher in American literature. Any scholar of American literature who is not familiar with everything Cowley has recorded cannot be considered an expert. — Wallace Stegner
In the words of one of the most important members of the Lost Generation, the adventures of this group and their attitudes toward life and literature are vividly brought to life before our eyes. In the 1920s, American young people, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joseph Kesselring, Ernest Hemingway, William Wilder, Dos Passos, Cowley, and many other writers, "fled" to Europe. Some never returned, while others were only temporary exiles. As Cowley meticulously portrays in this deeply personal and anecdotal work, the Lost Generation severed ties with traditional life and literature, thereby expanding the boundaries of art. Their efforts went beyond the realm of literature, revealing the intense historical transformations of a great era. The author hopes, through the memories and records in this book, to "explain the past in order to create the future."
