At this year’s third annual Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books we will celebrate the launch of the fifth volume in the series, “Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s. Halfway through the decade!
Volume V, covering 1924, continues to chronicle the private and professional lives of the key figures in the literary world in the fabulous decade of the 1920s.
“Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s, Volume V—1924
You can see how the year ends before the postings on this blog get there!
Like the other four volumes—all available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk—Volume V has a unique dip-in-and-dip-out layout, designed by Lisa Thomson (LisaT2@comcast.net), that makes it easy to find the writers, artists, events and dates you’re most interested in. Find out what Ernest Hemingway was doing 100 years ago on your birth date! What was Virginia Woolf doing this week?! Or read straight through from January 1st through December 31st.

Copies of the first four volumes will be available at the “Such Friends” booth in Writer’s Row at the Festival. Not only can you take advantage of the Festival discount—I’m happy to personally sign your copies!
Thanks to Amazon’s crack delivery system, you will also be able to enter the “Such Friends” raffle to win a free copy of the new “Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s, Volume V—1924, when they finally arrive, shortly after the Festival.

“Such Friends” at last year’s Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books
This summer I will be talking about the literary 1920s in Paris and New York at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Carnegie-Mellon University.
Manager as Muse, about Scribner’s editor Maxwell Perkins’ relationships with Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe, is also available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk in both print and e-book versions.
We interrupt this chronicle of what was happening 100 years ago in the literary and cultural world to look forward to what will be happening next month in the literary and cultural world of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The Stein family welcomes their fifth child, Gertrude, to their comfortable middle-class home here in Allegheny, adjacent to the industrial powerhouse of the Steel City, Pittsburgh.

In honor of Gertrude’s 150th birthday—proclaimed Gertrude Stein Day by the City of Pittsburgh—we’re having a party!
Join us at City Books, 908 Galveston Avenue, just a few short blocks away from Gertrude’s house, on Saturday, February 3, from noon to 4 pm. There will be “little cakes”—like the ones Gertrude’s partner, Alice B. Toklas, served at their salons in Paris—and your humble blog host may be persuaded to make a few remarks and answer questions.

If weather permits, we can walk over to Beech Avenue and toast one of Pittsburgh’s most famous daughters.
Conveniently, copies of all four volumes of my series, “Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s, covering 1920 through 1923. will be for sale, and I’m happy to sign them.
“Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s, Volumes I through IV
When Gertrude was born, her father, Daniel, about 30, owned a shop with his brother, called, of course, Stein Brothers, in downtown Pittsburgh at Fourth Avenue and Wood Street.
The brothers’ families lived side by side in identical houses on Beech Avenue. Unfortunately, Gertrude’s Mom, Amelia, 31, didn’t get along so well with her sister-in-law next door.
So when their newborn was only six months old, Daniel, Amelia and their five kids left Pittsburgh and took off for a tour around Europe, never to return to Pennsylvania.
The Stein family in later years
Gertrude was only with us for six months, but we ‘burghers are extremely proud. Come by City Books on February 3rd between 1 and 4 p.m. and help us celebrate her 150th!
Later next month I will be talking about early 20th century supporters of the arts like the Stein family at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Carnegie-Mellon University.
Manager as Muse, about Scribner’s editor Maxwell Perkins’ relationships with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and Thomas Wolfe is available directly from me at kaydee@gypsyteacher.com.
You are definitely too stuffed to go out and fight your way through Black Friday crowds. Relax. Avoid the crowds and instead go out tomorrow for Small Business Saturday and shop your local bookstore. #smallbizbump
For example. If you are lucky enough to live near Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh, PA, stop by Riverstone Books on Forbes Avenue.

Perhaps you are of a more Ohio-an persuasion. Then Pan Yan Bookstore in Tiffin is the place to be.

And if you find yourself on the West Coast of Ireland, stop by Thoor Ballylee, the tower owned by poet and playwright W. B. Yeats, and visit their gift shop.

At any of those three you will be able to pick up copies of “Such Friend”: The Literary 1920s. They all carry volumes I through IV, covering 1920 through 1923, and in the two American shops the copies are signed—by me!
If none of those locations is convenient, email me at kaydee@gypsyteacher.com. If you live on a Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus line I’ll even deliver them myself.

Littsburgh is a locally-run website devoted to all things literary in Pittsburgh. They host a directory of author’s biographies, and also invite us to submit interviews about our latest works. So I did…
Q&A: Kathleen Dixon Donnelly, author of “Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Thanks to Littsburgh for the opportunity to tell you about my paperback series, “Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s. The series is based on blogs I’ve been posting at www.suchfriends.wordpress.com, chronicling what was happening in the literary and artistic world 100 years ago. The title comes from a poem by William Butler Yeats, “…say my glory was I had such friends.” Volumes I through IV, covering 1920 through 1923, are available at Thoor Ballylee in Co. Galway and as signed copies at Riverstone Books in Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh, and on Amazon in both print and e-book formats, or from me at kaydee@gypsyteacher.com.
As an author I jumped at the chance to interview myself, but, I have to say—that felt a bit narcissistic. So I enlisted the help of one of my best friends, Liz, to do the honors over glasses of chardonnay in her back garden.
Three volumes of “Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s
LIZ BFF: So what’s this obsession you have with the 1920s?
KDD: My Mom always talked about the 20s in a good way. She was born in 1920, one month to the day after Prohibition went into effect (I snuck her into Volume I). And your first nine years are usually remembered fondly.
My mother talked a lot about Dorothy Parker—
Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses”
—and her friends who lunched together as the Algonquin Hotel Round Table throughout the 20s.. For example, I remember she told me that the humorist Robert Benchley—we read his essays in 9th grade English—instructed his wife to have him cremated and go to the cemetery in a taxi with his ashes in his briefcase next to her on the seat. Imagine my surprise to find out when doing my academic research that my mother was right—the story is true.
LIZ BFF: That’s right—your research. This all started with your academic research.
KDD: Yes—but these books aren’t academic! My Ph. D., from Dublin City University in Ireland, was about writers and artists who hung out together. How did these friendships affect their creativity? I looked at four main “salons,” two before and two after World War I: Yeats and the Irish Literary Renaissance who founded Dublin’s Abbey Theatre; Virginia Woolf and the writers and artists in the Bloomsbury group in London; our fellow Pittsburgher Gertrude Stein and the Americans who came to Paris in the 1920s; and, of course, Parker and the Round Table. 31 creative people all together. For the books I’ve expanded a bit to include others who weren’t in the groups, and important world events going on during the decade.
LIZ BFF: That’s a lot of creative people. Who are your favorites?
KDD: Well, Parker for one. I feel as though she was doing a lot of the same things all my friends and I were doing in our 20s—free-lance writing, whining about our relationships with men. But she paid a higher price—back alley abortions, for example.
But my other favorite would be Virginia Woolf’s sister, painter Vanessa Bell. She’s often overlooked, even by British feminists. She was a terrific painter; I use one of her works, A Conversation, on the cover of Volume II, 1921. And she was the earth mother for the Bloomsberries. Everyone came to her houses, in London and Sussex. One of their friends described the sisters this way:
People admired Virginia; they adoredVanessa.”
“Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s, Volume II–1921
LIZ BFF: Those are the kinds of stories and descriptions I’ve really enjoyed reading in your books. How do Gertrude Stein and W. B. Yeats fit in?
KDD: Gertrude’s relationships with writers like Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald are probably the best known. She and her partner, Alice B. Toklas, were the most committed couple of all my 31 writers. In the words of one of their biographers, Diana Souhami, from the day they met they were together; they
never traveled without each other or entertained separately, or worked on independent projects.”
Of course, Gertrude and her family left Pittsburgh when she was only six months old. But we ‘burghers are quite proud.
As for Yeats and the Irish, I’ve found that they illustrate a big contrast between Ireland and the rest of the world in the 1920s. Once the Irish won their war for independence from the British, they started shooting each other in their Civil War, while people in London, Paris and New York were doing the Charleston. However, the Irish did manage to keep their theatre going.
LIZ BFF: You’ve got so many great stories about all these people. But how do you think they compare with today? I mean, stories are nice, but what’s the point? What can we learn from looking back at that decade?
KDD: Good question! I think the main lesson I’ve come away with is that the good old days weren’t. Alcoholism, depression—particularly in men—gambling addiction, suicide, eating disorders: These are issues that have always been with us but were not discussed then. The early biographies I read laughed off the addictions and depression:
She was sooo drunk! Ha ha.”
“He gambled away his apartment! Ha ha.”
“He just got up and walked away from his job! Ha ha!”
In reality, not so funny.
LIZ BFF: Well, I’ve certainly enjoyed reading them. I dip in and out because they’re short and the layout makes the books easy to read. At the end of each one I’m thinking, I can’t wait to find out what happens next.
Easy-to-read layout of “Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s
KDD: Thank you! That’s the effect I’m going for. There is an awful lot of foreshadowing. Every vignette is related to another one.
LIZ BFF: I noticed that.
KDD: For example, in 1920 an armed burglary in Massachusetts will culminate in the executions of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti in 1927—which Parker and others protested. Hemingway goes to a party and meets Hadley Richardson; a year later they get married and move to Paris. In 1921 excerpts from James Joyce’s Ulysses are found to be obscene by a New York court, and the following year Sylvia Beach’s bookstore in Paris publishes the whole book, on Joyce’s 40th birthday. Meanwhile, in London, VirginiaWoolf can barely force herself to read it, but she and her husband publish T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land the next year. So if you’ve never gotten through Ulysses, don’t feel bad. Sometimes I think most of the vignettes should end with “Stay tuned…”
LIZ BFF: I’m tuned. I can’t wait to read Volume V, 1924.
KDD: Great. I’m working on it. In the meantime, remember—they make great gifts!
LIZ BFF: That chardonnay was really nice.

If Irish-American lawyer and patron of the arts John Quinn, 52, wants to get out of the city as planned to spend all of August with his sister and niece in the Adirondacks, he has a bit of correspondence to catch up on.
Quinn has been corresponding with his emissary in Paris, Henri-Pierre Roche, 43, about leaving his best French paintings to the government of France, to be cared for in the Louvre. Roche has been negotiating to have Quinn acquire The Circus by Georges Seurat. Roche wrote to him at the beginning of the month about a crazy day when he and Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, 40, went flying around Paris carrying a Cezanne landscape with them in a taxi, stopping at every shop to buy up all the suitable frames they could find.
The Circus by Georges Seurat
One of the writers Quinn supports, American T. S. Eliot, 33, living in London, has written to give him power of attorney when negotiating a contract with Boni and Liveright to publish his latest work, an untitled lengthy poem. They are not sure, however, if it will be lengthy enough to appear as a book. Eliot writes that he is planning to add some notes to make it fatter. Quinn is finally getting around to reading the typescript Eliot has sent and is turning it over to his office secretary to make a copy that can be submitted to Liveright.
Typescript of poem by T. S. Eliot
Quinn is finishing off a lengthy letter to one of his Irish friends, poet and painter AE (George Russell, 55). Their mutual friend, Lady Augusta Gregory, 70, had recently asked Quinn to recommend painters for inclusion in the Hugh Lane Gallery, which she is trying to establish in memory of her nephew who went down with the Lusitania seven years ago. Quinn reports to AE that he told her that of the dead ones he would rank, in order, Cezanne, Seurat (much better than Renoir), and Rousseau. He puts Gauguin and van Gogh a bit farther down.
Of living artists he would include Picasso, Georges Braque, 40; Andre Derain, 42; and Henri Matisse, 52; in the first tier. In the second, Raoul Dufy, 45; Constantin Brancusi, 46—whom he has become good friends with—and Georges Rouault, 51.
Quinn tells AE that he would add a third tier of the living: Juan Gris, 35; Marie Laurencin, 39; and Jacques Villon, about to turn 47, among others.
The Winged Horse by AE
Quinn’s longest letter is to another Irish friend, poet and playwright, William Butler Yeats, 57. He brings Willie up to date on the recent funeral of his father, whom Quinn had taken care of during the past 15 years in New York City. The Yeats family decided it would be better for Dad to be buried in the States, and Quinn arranged a site in upstate New York:
If you and your sisters could see the place, I am sure you would have approved of [our] selection. When Lady Gregory was here the last time, lecturing, she told me one day, half in earnest and half in fun, that if she died in this country she wanted to be buried where she died, unless she died in Pittsburgh. She refused to be buried in Pittsburgh…One day downtown, when I was having coffee after lunch with two or three men, one of them said: ‘Times change. Now there is [famous actress] Lillian Russell. In the old days she was supposed to have had many lovers and she was married and divorced four or five times. But years go by, and she marries again, and settles down, and finally dies in the odor of—’
‘Pittsburgh,’ said I.
Lady Gregory refused to be buried in the odor of Pittsburgh.”
Quinn ends by congratulating Yeats on his honorary degree from Trinity College and asks that Willie’s wife send him some photos of their children and Thoor Ballylee, the tower they are living in.
Now he is ready to pack up and go on a well-earned vacation.

Later in the year I will be talking about the centenary of the publication of T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes at Carnegie-Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.
