2777 Life for Life's Sake: A Book of Reminiscences, by Richard Aldington (read 17 Mar 1990) This book, published in 1941 is a sort of autobiography. He tells of his childhood in England--nothing suggests his parents were the grotesque people the protagonist in Death of a Hero had as parents, though obviously said protagonist has similarities to the author--their time in France, as an enlisted man and officer, coincides, though of course Aldington did not die. This book cannot be very memorable. Aldington traveled much in Europe, and one can't help but envy him those travels. At the end he has come to America--I do not believe he stayed here. He died in 1962 in France. ( )
