    a laugh out loud telegram

    Sylvia’s telegram to George Antheil about his disappearing publicity stunt around his Ballet Mécanique made me laugh out loud: For goodness sake George come back to Paris immediately and deny this idiotic newspaper story lions ate you in Africa or else your name will be mud forever STOP Time is of essence STOP Sylvia Beach

    book flight: Harlem Rhapsody

    Boni and Liveright, who published Joyce’s short story collection In Our Time also published There is Confusion by Jessie Redmon Fauset it was nice to read Harlem Rhapsody in the middle of reading this biography to add further depth to my picture of twenties and thirties literary society I was a bit disappointed in Harlem Rhapsody not to see a mention of Shakespeare and Company while they were in Paris discussing family’s authors and artists, and it has me wondering what Sylvia Beach’s attitude toward and relationships with Black authors looked like. I’m realizing that this question has been missing from my consideration of the biography, and it’s an important one.
