Kafka Was the Rage: A Greenwich Village MemoirWhat Hemingway's A Moveable Feast did for Paris in the 1920s, this charming yet undeceivable memoir does for Greenwich Village in the late 1940s. In 1946, Anatole Broyard was a dapper, earnest, fledgling avant gardist, intoxicated by books, sex, and the neighborhood that offered both in such abundance.

What Hemingway's A Moveable Feast did for Paris in the 1920s, this charming yet undeceivable memoir does for Greenwich Village in the late 1940s. In 1946, Anatole Broyard was a dapper, earnest, fledgling avant-gardist, intoxicated by books, sex, and the neighborhood that offered both in such abundance. Stylish written, mercurially witty, imbued with insights that are both affectionate and astringent, this memoir offers an indelible portrait of a lost bohemia.

We see Broyard setting up his used bookstore on Cornelia Street--indulging in a dream that was for him as romantic as "living off the land or sailing around the world" while exercizing his libido with a protegee of Anais Nin and taking courses at the New School, where he deliberates on "the new trends in art, sex, and psychosis." Along the way he encounters Delmore Schwartz, Caitlin and Dylan Thomas, William Gaddis, and other writers at the start of their careers. Written with insight and mercurial wit, Kafka Was the Rage elegantly captures a moment and place and pays homage to a lost bohemia as it was experienced by a young writer eager to find not only his voice but also his place in a very special part of the world.

Excellent Book
Format: Kindle
This book helps with many things including installing the confidence that God speaks to us in dreams and visions. It also helps us learn to understand what God is saying via practical interpretation skills that develop over time. A very good book.

Jane is a greta teacher
Format: Kindle
I learned a lot. It was clear, informative and the questions at the end were great application questions. I appreciate Jane using personal dreams and walking through how the interpretation happened.

Dream Interpretation Made Clear
Format: Kindle
This is a great book for someone who is a beginner at learning how to interpret dreams as well as for someone who wants to better understand how to interpret their dreams. For me it is the latter, wanting to better understand how to interpret my dreams. I have known that my dreams are God's way of speaking to me about my life but the question has been was I coming to right interpretation or insight that I needed. Jane Hamon gives full explanations and illustrations of the steps that are needed to clearly and correctly interpret what God is saying to the individual. Some of the steps I have been doing but now I know what others steps I need to take in order to have a clearer understanding. Now I will feel better about my dreams. Thank you Jane Hamon.
