For 40 years he was a busy doctor in the town of Rutherford, New Jersey, and yet he was able to write more than 30 books. One of the finest chapters in this \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAutobiography\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e tells how each of his two roles stimulated and supported the other. Many of Williams’s friends appear in it pages: he writes with discerning frankness of the poets H.D., Ezra Pound, and Marianne Moore; of the artists Charles Demuth, Marsden Hartley, Charles Sheeler, and the photographer Alfred Stieglitz; and there are fine portraits of the writers who congregated in Paris in the Twenties: Joyce, Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and Ford Madox Ford. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Autobiography \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis an unpretentious book; it reads much as Williams talked – spontaneously and often with a special kind of salty humor. But it is a very human story, glowing with warmth and sensitivity. It brings us close to a rare man and lets us share his affectionate concern for the people to whom he ministered, body and soul, through a long rich life as physician and writer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glenn Horowitz Bookseller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47760845930670,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6325\/1886\/files\/IMG_7195.jpg?v=1776707844","url":"https:\/\/shop.glennhorowitz.com\/products\/william-william-carlos-the-autobiography-of-william-carlos-williams","provider":"Glenn Horowitz Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
