- Annotation
- Traces the historiographical myth and transformation of the Lost Generation through Malcolm Cowley s Exile Return (1934; 1951), F. Scott Fitzgerald s The Crack-Up (1945), Hemingway s A Moveable Feast. Argues that all three men were born into privilege and witnessed the birth of the modernist era but wrote their memoirs based on a borrowed plot structure rather than true eyewitness accounts.
