Description: In Dreams Begin Responsibilities and Other Stories by Delmore Schwartz, James Atlas, Irving Howe, Lou Reed Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A new edition of the definitive book on the depression-era immigrant experience in New York City. Publisher Description Now with an exciting new preface by rock musician Lou Reed (Delmore Schwartzs student at Syracuse), In Dreams Begin Responsibilities collects eight of Schwartzs finest delineations of New Yorks intellectuals in the 1930s and 1940s. As no other writer can, Schwartz captures the speech, the generational conflicts, the mocking self-analysis of educated, ambitious, Depression-stymied young people at odds with their immigrant parents. This is the unique American dilemma Irving Howe described as "that interesting point where intellectual children of immigrant Jews are finding their way into the larger world while casting uneasy, rueful glances over their backs." Afterwords by James Atlas and Irving Howe place the stories in their historical and cultural setting. Author Biography Delmore Schwartz (1913-1966) was born and raised in Brooklyn. One of Americas greatest poets and short-story writers, Schwartz contributed "In Dreams Begin Responsibilities" to the first issue of Partisan Review in 1937. Schwartz taught at Syracuse, Princeton, and Kenyon College, and received the Bollingen Prize in 1959. After a difficult period of alchoholism and depression, he died of a heart attack in 1966. James Atlas is the president of Atlas & Co. and founder of the Penguin Lives series. His numerous books include Bellow: A Biography, Delmore Schwartz: The Life of an American Poet and the memoir My Life in the Middle Ages. He lives in New York City.
