Kafka Was the Rage
Kafka Was the Rage: A Greenwich Village Memoir | Anatole Broyard
3 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
What Hemingway's A Moveable Feast did for Paris in the 1920s, this charming yet undeceivable memoir does for Greenwich Village in the late 1940s. In 1946, Anatole Broyard was a dapper, earnest, fledgling avant-gardist, intoxicated by books, sex, and the neighborhood that offered both in such abundance. Stylish written, mercurially witty, imbued with insights that are both affectionate and astringent, this memoir offers an indelible portrait of a lost bohemia. From the Trade Paperback edition.

I read this book years ago. I don't remember the details but I do remember liking this memoir about a writers bohemian life style in the village in NYC.

Kafka Was the Rage: A Greenwich Village Memoir | Anatole Broyard

I realize that people still read books now and some love them,but in 1946 our feelings about books...went beyond love.It was as if we didn‘t know where we ended and books began. Books were our weather, our environment, our clothing. We didn‘t simply read books; we became them...While it would be easy to say that we escaped into books, it might be truer to say that books escaped into us. Books were to us what drugs were to young men in the sixties.
