The Tender Hour of Twilight: Paris in the ’50s, New York in the ‘60s: A Memoir of Publishing’s Golden Age
by Richard Seaver

I am mystified that this memoir is not a major spring hit.  If you’re interested in book publishing, French literature, expat life, or censorship issues, please give this a shot. It’s like a fantastic time machine to mid-century Paris and New York.  I’d even go so far as to recommend it to literary fans of Mad Men—it’s set in the same time period, but focused on the world of publishing rather than advertising.
