Being Geniuses Together

Résumé : "McAlmon completed Being Geniuses Together, a memoir of his life abroad, in 1934, but he had to wait until 1938 before Secker & Warburg agreed to publish it after considerable excising. Its salty frankness alienated some old friends like Joyce but captivated recent ones like Katherine Anne Porter. McAlmon's best-known book, Being Geniuses Together has proved indispensable for any study of expatriate life and writing in the 1920s" (ANB).
