This is a fabulous book for anyone obsessed by the literary culture of our country. It shares snippets of the story of James Laughlin, legendary founder of New Directions Publishing, the man who single-handedly brought us Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Kenneth Rexroth, and countless other literary titans of the 20th century. The Way It Wasn't is a scrapbook of Laughlin's life, arranged alphabetically, and including an amazing array of letters, photos, and random thoughts.
