Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Second printing. Foreword by Irving Howe. [NDP454] Bright & tight copy, unread, in Very Good condition. "It is time to reacknowledge Delmore Schwartz's remarkable achievement as acute social observer and gifted technician. In the 1970s Schwartz is best known through his legend as poete maudit--a legend recently strengthened by the many parallels between Schwartz and the tortured, though brilliant poet Von Humboldt Fleisher of Saul Bellow's monumental novel Humboldt's Gift. IN DREAMS BEGIN RESPONSIBILITIES AND OTHER STORIES collects eight of Schwartz's finest delineations of New York intellectuals in the 1930s and 1940s. As no other writer, he captures the speech, the generational conflicts, the mocking self-analysis of educated, ambitious, Depression-stymied young people at odds with their immigrant parents. This is the unique American dilemma Irving Hower describes in his penetrating, loving foreword as 'that interesting point where intellectual children of immigrant Jews are finding their way into the larger world while casting uneasy, rueful glances over their backs.' James Atlas, author of the recent biography of Schwartz, has provided an introduction placing the stories (many barely disguised autobiography) in their historical and cultural setting. This edition presents Schwartz to a new generation of American readers, drifting farther away from their immigrant roots and anxious to re-establish contact with one of the many worlds of our fathers." [publisher copy] "The greatest man I ever met. [His] titles were more than enough to raise the muse of fire on my neck."--Lou Reed. "Nostalgic odes to the city are everywhere, but the best thing ever written on the subject is 'In Dreams Begin Responsibilities.'"--The Village Voice. "'In Dreams Begin Responsibilities' is as good as a story can be, I'd say after reading it again for the fifth or sixth time, comparable with Kafka, Babel, or Through the Looking Glass."--Dwight MacDonald. Bright, unread VG copy is slightly shelfworn w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine; fine & quite presentable for a 45-year-old classic New Directions book.
