Ford wrote with engaging frankness about himself and his contemporaries. These reminiscences are an intimate personal record of a life distinguished by literary achievements and friendships with notable writers of his time.
Ford's accounts of his literary collaboration with Joseph Conrad, of Stephen Crane's last years in England, and of Henry James at home in Rye are fascinating. A most valuable, long out of print book by the author of The Good Soldier, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, and Last Post.
