A vivid picture of life in California during the Gold Rush.
Just The Thing: Selected Letters Of James Schuyler, Edited by William Corbett
“An extraordinarily rich and compelling book, a wonder. James Schuyler's letters provide the perfect companion to his brilliant and memorable poems—hilarious, self-deprecating, insightful and moving, ever so moving. 'I love being in love with you, it makes even unhappiness seem no bigger than a pin, even at the times when I wish violently that I could give my heart to science and be rid of it.'”—Paul Auster
The Letters of James Schuyler to Frank O'Hara, Edited by William Corbett
Poet Mark Ford has described the letters of James Schuyler as "witty, graceful, sophisticated, and gossipy." Particularly poignant are these Schuyler letters to fellow poet Frank O'Hara. Entertaining and transcendently poetic, they are the portrait of a friendship between two great New York School poets.
Other People's Letters, by Mina Curtiss 
“Mina Curtiss is not only uniquely informative, especially about Proust, whom she knew intimately without ever knowing; she is also an original author on her own—caring, interesting, and personal, with never a word too many.”—Ned Rorem
The Letters of Marcel Proust, Translated by Mina Curtiss
“They do paint a picture of a young man on the make, in one of the most enviable times ever to be alive; and, with the Dreyfus case stirring and the Great War approaching, they also paint a picture of how that time darkened. More movingly than perhaps any other body of literary letters, though, they show a great novelist coming into his maturity.”—Adam Gopnik
Water From A Bucket: A Diary, 1948-1957, by Charles Henri Ford
“These pages show a golden moment before art surrendered to commerce, before gay life became brainless and ghettoized and before America turned its back on Europe. No wonder Ford considers Water from a Bucket his masterpiece.”—Edmund White
Notes On André Gide, by Roger Martin du Gard
André Gide, winner of the 1947 Nobel Prize, is a revered figure in French literature. The quirky, intimate, and fascinating portrait drawn in these "notes" can be relished by someone who has never read or even heard of Gide. Gide's friendship with Roger Martin du Gard lasted over thirty-eight years. In his journal, Gide wrote of his friend, "With him I can let myself go and be perfectly natural."
