Thanks for leading me to all the marvellous posts.

Claire 'Word by Word' said: October 28, at 3: It is wonderful to read this as a part of all the literature that now exists surrounding those writers living in Paris at that time and to remember that this is merely one perspective, but we get to know a little more of the man and see more clearly his differences to the others, to learn what he reads already having known what he would write.
