The second collection of Miller's and Fraenkel's volumnious literary correspondence; the first volume was published in 1939. Carrefour Editions, a joint effort by Fraenkel and Walter Lowenfels, was founded in Paris in 1930 primarily in order to publish their own work and that of their friends among the bohemian American expatriates of Paris. This is one of the last books of the press (though the imprint was revived by Fraenkel's daughter Daphne in 1960). Fraenkel was the model for the character of "Boris," an expatriate poet, in Miller's Tropic of Cancer. (Inventory #: 80797)
