(4 of 4)
Best Reading SATORI IN PARIS, by Jack Kerouac. An account of a beat writer's ribald search for some noble French ancestors, told with gusto and amusing dropout grammar.
WINSTON S. CHURCHILL, by Randolph Churchill. An only son's pious but pointed biography of his famous father's painful Victorian upbringing. First of five volumes.
LETTERS OF JAMES JOYCE, edited by Rich ard Ellmann. The furies and compulsions that generated Joyce's work are set down in a literary electrocardiogram of a genius.
VESSEL OF WRATH, by Robert Lewis Taylor. A whimsical tour of the trail that hatchet-swinging Carry Nation blazed through the hogsheads and saloons of her time.
LA CHAMADE, by Francoise Sagan. A conventional romantic novel about a love affair — skillful enough to show just how satisfying wise romantic novels can be.
THE BEST TIMES, by John Dos Passes.
An engaging memoir in which the novelist writes with affectionate candor about the legendary names of the Lost Generation.
