A Second Flowering by Malcolm Cowley. 1973. H/C with jacket. 276 pp.

Meet the American literary giants of World War I.

Cowley tells the story of his own generation of American writers from World War I in terms of 8 representative figures: Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Dos Passos, Cummings, Wilder, Faulkner, Wolfe and Hart Crane. Each one of them exerted a strong influence on American writing in his own time and thereafter. Cowley knew many of these writers personally and has brought together his own memories of these giants, their life stories and his long-range critical evaluation.
