The Harold letters, 1928-1943

"Here, in The Harold Letters, is the rare opportunity to join a great tastemaker as he begins to form his own taste, and as he grapples with his own understanding of life and the arts amidst the social, political, and cultural turbulence of the American 1930s. Above all, here is the excitement of youthful friendship, and the pain of being twentysomething with a world yet to win."—BOOK JACKET.
