描述
In the closing decades of the nineteenth century Minnesota produced three young men of great talent who each went east to become writers. Two of them became famous: F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis. This is the story of the third man: Charles Macomb Flandrau.
Flandrau, a model of style and worldly sophistication and destined, almost everyone agreed, for greatness, was among the most talented young writers of his generation. His short stories about Harvard in the 1890s were called “the first realistic description of undergraduate life in American colleges” and sold out of the first printing in a few weeks. From 1899 to 1902 Flandrau was among the most popular contributors to the Saturday Evening Post . Alexander Woollcott rated him the best essayist in America. And Viva Mexico! , Flandrau’s account of life on a Mexican coffee plantation, is a classic, perhaps the best travel book ever written by an American. Yet Flandrau turned his back on it all. Financially independent, he chose a solitary, epicurean life in St. Paul, Mexico, Majorca, Paris, and Normandy. In later years, he confined his writing to local newspaper pieces and letters to his small circle of family and friends.
Using excerpts from these newspaper columns and unpublished letters, Larry Haeg has painstakingly recreated the story of this urbane, talented, witty, lazy, enigmatic, supremely private man who never reached the peak of literary success to which his talent might have taken him.
This very readable biography provides a detailed and honest portrayal of Flandrau and his times. It will fascinate readers interested in writers’ life stories and scholars of American literature as well as general readers interested in midwestern literary history.

备用描述
<p>Like his contemporaries, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis, Charles Flandrau went east from Minnesota to become a writer. Despite his successful books of short stories and popular contributions to The Saturday Evening Post, Flandrau made a different decision from Fitzgerald and Lewis about the life of a writer and withdrew from publishing and public life. Haeg recreated Flandrau's story from his newspaper columns and unpublished letters. He has recovered the history of Flandrau's family as well as the family home in St. Paul.
