Pappe. Condition: gut. Erste Aufl. Fadengehefteter, fotografisch gestalteter Pappband mit Lesebändchen. Die Einbandkanten leicht berieben, ansonsten guter Zustand. Der Schriftsteller Robert Lowry (* 29. März 1919 in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; ? 5. Dezember 1994 ebenda) wurde mit dem von ihm begründeten Little Man Magazin und seinen Werken wichtiger Inspirator und Quelle der amerikanischen Nachkriegsliteratur und der Beat Generation. Bereits als Kind schrieb Lowry angeregt von Pulp-Magazinen der Depressionszeit Kurzgeschichten, die in der lokalen Presse veröffentlicht wurden. Als Student der University of Cincinnati gründet Lowry 1938 das Literaturmagazin Little Man. Bevor das erste Heft im Druck erscheint, begibt sich Lowry zusammen mit einer verheirateten Kommilitonin on the road quer durch die USA. Über Arkansas und Texas trampt er alleine weiter nach New York, wo er sich als Schriftsteller etablieren möchte. Fast verhungert kehrt er wenige Monate später wieder nach Cincinnati zurück, bricht sein Studium ab und gründet mit einer gebrauchten Handpresse den Little Man Verlag, indem fortan das gleichnamige Magazin erscheint. Er gewinnt James Flora ? später berühmter Gestalter von Jazzplatten-Cover und Kinderbuchautor ? als Designer und Illustrator. Neben bereits etablierten und berühmten Schriftstellern wie William Saroyan, Jesse Stuart und Weldon Kees veröffentlicht Lowry im Little Man auch unbekannte Autoren und eigene Werke.
