With him we experience the hardships yet stubborn vibrancy at the heart of Europe during the Nazis' rise to power; his friendships with James Joyce and other luminaries; his quietly passionate devotion to the Frenchwoman who will become his lifelong companion; his secret work for the French Resistance and narrow escapes from the Gestapo; his flight from occupied Paris to the countryside; and the rubble of his life after liberation. And through it all we are witness to workings of a uniquely brilliant mind struggling to create a language that will express his experience of this shattered world. Here is a remarkable story of survival and determination, and a portrait of the extremes of human experience alchemized into timeless art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kicks Mix Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47539777863843,"sku":"9781101948026","price":2.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/6831\/6835\/files\/9781101948026.jpg?v=1775497533","url":"https:\/\/kicksmixbooks.store\/products\/country-road","provider":"Kicks Mix Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
