Before you buy.
Never been keen on it. Kenner has never really been my cup of tea.

Looks interesting. Does it cover Eliot well too?
As far as Pound is concerned, I quite liked H.D.'s "End to Torment". Try
also Glenn Hughes' "Imagism and the Imagists" (very old, chatty, but quite
fun) and the old chestnut: Bradbury & McFarlane's standard "Modernism
1890-1930".

Yes, but I can't comment on "well" or not. There's more of
Hemingway and Fitzgerald and Joyce than Eliot.

OK, I'll look for this, and the companion to Charmed Circle,
kind of, is Sylvia Beach and the Lost Generation : A
History of Literary Paris in the Twenties and
Thirties by Noel Riley Fitch
And Mellow has one of the better, IMO, biographies of Hemingway,
A Life Without Consequences.
thanks

Hmmm. I was thinking in the vein of a couple of pages on Eliot in Paris
and/or his reaction to Stein (well-known as it may be, it is always
interesting to read new versions of it).
And if you are interested in exchanging book references or such, feel free
to contact me.
