Synopsis:

Frankly―H. Miller was defended by me only because he spoke against the War, and I think that was the main reason for his fame. Now―I do not believe, what with Palmistry, Chirography, Phrenology, and the Great Cryptogram, he will survive the retooling period. I honestly think he is the most insufferable snob I have ever met―but all reformed pandhandlers are like that.… in a letter from Kenneth Rexroth to James Laughlin

Correspondence between author Rexroth, a "presiding figure of the San Francisco Renaissance," and publisher Laughlin, spanning forty years. Introduction, notes on the text, select bibliography, index. Errata sheet laid in.

From the Back Cover: The letters in this volume capture the many moods of Kenneth Rexroth. They also provide a running commentary on writers outside Rexroth's San Francisco orbit, such notables as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas D. H. Lawrence, and Herbert Read.
