4 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
An extraordinary portrait of a fast-changing Americaand the Western writers who gave voice to its emerging identity At once an intimate portrait of an unforgettable group of writers and a history of a cultural revolution in America, The Bohemians reveals how a brief moment on the far western frontier changed our culture forever. Beginning with Mark Twains arrival in San Francisco in 1863, this group biography introduces readers to the other young eccentric writers seeking to create a new American voice at the countrys edgeliterary golden boy Bret Harte; struggling gay poet Charles Warren Stoddard; and beautiful, haunted Ina Coolbrith, poet and protector of the group. Ben Tarnoffs elegant, atmospheric history reveals how these four pioneering writers helped spread the Bohemian movement throughout the world, transforming American literature along the way.

“The unforgettable story of the birth of modern America and the western writers who gave voice to its emerging identity.” This book details the travels and adventures of Mark Twain and other writers seeking their own style. This season was a drawing line in the sand, if you will, for Mark Twain. I‘ve changed my Litsy handle because my previous one offended someone. I never meant to do that. But out of the ash, I‘ve been inspired 🌸
