Grand Man

Résumé : This book contains the affectionate, highly personal recollections of one individualist of another. As Nancy Cunard writes : "I have tried to recall every single thing about him (Norman Douglas) from the first time we met, when he was 54 and I was 27, to the last time I saw or heard of him, that makes twenty-nine years". And she brilliantly succeded, evoking, with tenderness, enormous admiration, a few smiling strictures, and always with wonder Douglas's amazing, forthright, creative personality - rugged individualist and tweeded Scot, scholar and connoisseur, with his gusty verbal fugues and the magnificent lucidity of his analytical, ironic mind.
