In this, a delightful picaresque account of the search for pleasure in the Europe of the 1920s, the author provides a gay sexual memoir that evokes the character of that time. The search for an ideal provides a wealth of interesting information about the social milieu that was alive for men searching for a certain life in the world of pre-war homosexual haunts.

Has a chapter or so devoted to literature other than English. Sings the praises of Andre Chamson but less enthusiastic about Giono who is better known now. Kafka and Sartre get quite short shrift, albeit positive. Malraux's La condition humane receives high praise. There are 16 pages of excellent sepia photos, mainly of authors.

I read this book in one evening in Hay-On-Wye surrounded by 30 other book purchases - bliss. John Lehmann, the author, of this illustrated biography used to work for the Woolfs at their Hogarth Press so in many cases was speaking first hand on the facts he presented. This is an excellent introduction into the life and work of Virginia Woolf and her family and circle of Bloomsbury friends and associates and a great starting point for further reading. I have already read A Room of One's Own some time ago and was completely in awe - it was a ground-breaking oent for me in fact in my love of reading. I have also read other essays too which are so beautifully observed and erudite yet witty and accessible. Having read this I am less intimidated by Woolf's novels and can make an informed decision on what to choose to read first. This biography really allows the reader to appreciate Woolf's remarkable achievements in literature. Home-schooled ( being female ) and dogged with mental illness her prolific and unique output is remarkable. It is clear that Woolf is Bloomsbury and that all the others amongst her set - Strachey, Grant, Fry et al really are just a supporting cast. The illustrations including many photographs really add to the substance of this work which I felt was both sensitive, respectful and true to Woolf's work and memory.… (altro)
