In Dreams Begin Responsibilities and Other Stories [Paperback]

Now with an exciting new preface by Lou Reed (Delmore Schwartzs student at Syracuse),The greatest man I ever met& [His] titles were more than enough to raise the muse of fire on my neck.?Delmore Schwartz catapults past the fickleness of mere reputation(that posture and position that Lionel Trilling defined as characterizing a figure) into something close to legend.Nostalgic odes to the city are everywhere, but the best thing ever written on the subject isIn Dreams Begin Responsibilities is as good as a story can be, Id say after reading it again for the fifth or sixth time, comparable with Kafka,A new edition of the definitive book on the depression-era immigrant experience in New York City.
