Callaghan, Morley. That Summer in Paris, Memories with Tangled Friendships with Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Some Others. First Edition. 1963. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition—jacket shows minor fraying and tiny edge tears.
Novelist Morley Callaghan mused, “I’m probably better known for boxing with Hemingway than for anything I’ve written.” That famous boxing match comes at the denouement of this memoir of the literary set in Paris in the summer of 1929, and in its own way, it was as climatic as the stock market crash that triggered the Great Depression a few months later. F. Scott Fitzgerald was on his way down; Ernest Hemingway on his way up; and Callaghan was friends with both. It is an insightful account of their friendships with each other and himself.
“Look at it this way. Scott [Fitzgerald] didn’t like McAlmon. McAlmon no longer liked Hemingway. Hemingway had turned against Scott. I had turned my nose up at Ford. Hemingway liked Joyce. Joyce liked McAlmon.”
--Morley Callaghan
