內容簡介: |
Before he vanished in the fog of San Francisco, Weldon Kees 1914-55 was a poet, storyteller, critic, painter, musician, and filmmaker. What remains is a body of work and a large collection of letters that shed light on Kees''s complex personality. Robert E. Knoll traces the odyssey of a Nebraska boy who made his way in a fiercely competitive national scene, befriending the movers and shakers of the art worlds on both coasts. Kees''s letters-satirical, witty, poetic, gossipy, intensely individual-provide the feel of lives being lived, of a career going forth, and finally of the darkness that engulfed him when, in Knoll''s phrase, he was ten minutes from triumph.
