Malcolm Cowley Knihy
24. srpen 1898 – 27. březen 1989
Malcolm Cowley byl významný americký literární historik a kritik, jehož dílo zachycuje ducha doby a formuje naše chápání americké literatury. Jeho práce se vyznačují hlubokým vhledem do tvorby spisovatelů, které podporoval a jejichž kariéry pomohl rozvíjet. Cowleyho eseje a literární historie přispěly k pochopení literárních proudů a generací, které definovaly moderní americkou literaturu. Jeho celoživotní oddanost literatuře zanechala nesmazatelnou stopu v kritické a historické reflexi americké prózy a poezie.

"Exile's Return (1934) is one of the volumes that cinched Cowley's reputation as the Boswell of the "Lost Generation" of writers and artists who flocked to Paris following World War I. More than just another catalog of anecdotes on the expatriate games of Stein, Hemingway, Joyce, etc., this documents the transition of American literature and culture during one of its greatest periods of change."
