Listening to this on audiobook, and I am so frustrated! I really want to know more about the writers it focuses on, but it‘s just a series of primary source quotes tied together. I hate to DNF it, but I‘m so close. 😒
pickThese people were messed up! I think I'll read their books! 😄
pickFinished this audiobook as part of #NonFictionNovember on my commute in this morning. About the year 1922 and the events in the world and the lives of Woolf, Elliot, Lawrence and Forster- and the works that altered literature. Jacob‘s Room and the writing of Mrs. Dalloway, The Wasteland, writing A Passage to India and for Lawrence the obscenity trials over W. In L. Influenza and Proust and Ulysses figure prominently in all stories. Well done- 4⭐️
My next commute read- #NonFictionNovember about the year 1922 when literature changed- the title is a quote from Willa Cather. I am very interested in this time in literature and these authors- read by Bill Goldstein himself.
I love reading a great book at a bar. Big props to the bartender who suggested the Pinot Grigio and Bill Goldstein for this gem.

Goldstein does a fine job of blending biographical and critical commentary, holding focus on four writers and the space of one year, framing them with what was happening in the literary world, showing them in contact with and in relation to other writers. It's not a good starting point for anyone who is not familiar with the work of these writers, but if you are, it will expand your understanding of them and their work. https://goo.gl/EEjJko
