"So we beat on, boats against the current"

"I'm Matthew Germenis, and that's a good book." You'll find that this twentysomething is most passionate about Paul Simon, Ingmar Bergman, Bernard Malamud, Mad Men, modernism, Miles Davis, and Yehuda Amichai. Combine those with a penchant for writing Poetry, thinking in Prose, and you've got one Germenis thats eager to share, to provide some passion for your day.
vintageanchor: The great historian Paul Fussell died this week. Among his inestimable contributions are the National Book Critics Circle Award- and National Book Award-winning The Great War and Modern Memory, by Paul Fussell and the erudite introduction to our edition of Good-Bye to All That. The Great War and Modern Memory is essential for any fan of Modernism, as well as crucial to understanding the Lost Generation. I strongly recommend it.
