I agree with Mary -- it's time to dust them off and experience them again. <br /><br /><a href="http://patriciastoltey.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Patricia</a>Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-83031771566196655882010-08-10T16:13:30.691-04:002010-08-10T16:13:30.691-04:00How very sad.

I don't know about today's students, but when I was in school, we read the work of these authors and talked about the fact that most of them never found themselves.<br /><br />MalcolmMalcolm R.

Hard living claimed many of them...and it was really spurred, in part, to the frightening times they lived in.Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-72814185653922738822010-08-10T09:40:32.659-04:002010-08-10T09:40:32.659-04:00Michele - What a wonderful post! The Lost Generati...Michele - What a wonderful post! The Lost Generation truly is one of the sadder groups of writers. In my opinion, that eloquent sadness comes because of their lost hope. The assumptions they'd been raised with had pitched them into a cataclysmic war, and all of the old-fashioned work-hard-and-live-right values must have seemed darkly ironic. No wonder they felt so alienated. I'm going to think about this post quite a lot; I see traces of this in some of the <i>noir</i> crime fiction out there, and I'm going to really reflect on it.
