Book Description
  "Nineteen forty-six was agood time — perhaps the best time — in the twentieth century. Thewar was over and there was a terrific sense of coming back, ofrepossessing life. Rents were cheap, restaurants were cheap, and itseemed to me that happiness itself might be cheaply had."
  Broyard made his first bid for happiness by moving in with a youngpainter, the difficult and challenging Sheri Donatti — a protegeeof Anais Nin — who never wore underpants and who "embodied the newtrends in art, sex, and psychosis." Broyard tells their story; byturns comic and poignant, while describing along the way hismeetings with Caitlan and Dylan Thomas, Delmore Schwartz, DwightMacDonald, Maya Deren, William Gaddis, and other writers andartists just beginning their careers. He opens a bookstore onCornelia Street ("If it hadn't been for books we would have beenentirely at the mercy of sex. Books steadied us, they gave usgravity."). He goes to the New School and listens to Eric Fromm,Karen Horney and Meyer Shapiro ("I went to him as students, twentyyears later, would go to India."). He tries going to apsychoanalysist ("I never gave him a chance. l had a literaturerather than a personality.").
  In dazzling prose, Broyard captures with crystalline clarity thefeeling of a particular time and place "when everything mattered,everything was serious." With economy, style, wit, flair, andastounding powers of observation, Broyard has left us a mostremarkable memoir.
  From Kirkus Reviews
  Brilliant, funny, penetrating observations on life and culture inN.Y.C. after WW II from critic Broyard, who died of cancer in 1990(Intoxicated by My Illness, 1992). ``Nineteen forty-six was a goodtime--perhaps the best time-- in the twentieth century,'' writesBroyard, and the reader wishes that the critic were still here towrite a dozen more books just like this wonderful one to explainfurther exactly what he means. Broyard was 26 the year after thewar, and his entree to then housing-scarce Greenwich Village tookthe form of moving in with the difficult and challenging SheriDonatti, enigmatic abstract painter, wearer of no underpants, andproteg?e of Ana?s Nin. Comedy both ribald and poignant follows asBroyard tells the tale of his brief life with Sheri--including,along the way, sketches of his meetings with the likes of W.H.Auden (whom Sheri bumps into- -literally), Erich Fromm, MeyerSchapiro, Delmore Schwartz and others, including Nin herself (``Herlipstick was precise, her eyebrows shaved off and penciled in,giving the impression,'' remarks Broyard, ``that she had writtenher own face''). A break with Sheri is inevitable but, by the timeit comes, the reader knows how thoroughly she emblemized thecomplicated ironies (and dead-ends) of postwar criticism andart--and how Broyard was to manage going on afterward in his ownway. Again and again, his independence and right judgment revealthemselves in a mind that, in a Whitmanesque way, passionatelyinsists on a genuine integration of life and art: ``I wanted to bean intellectual, too, to see life from a great height, yet I didn'twant to give up my sense of connection, my intimacy with things.When I read a book, I always kept one eye on the world, likesomeone watching the clock.'' Vital criticism that--in thesewoebegone days especially--is wondrously to be valued.
