"History is made by the personalities which dominate…a generation…I do believe that the poets and authors of the 1920's who shone in the light of The Black Sun Press…Joyce, Pound, Proust, James. Crane...D.H Lawrence…are all personalities who helped chronicle an historic literary era, The Twenties". writes Caresse Crosby in her Introduction to Minkoff's meticulous bibliography of the publications of a legendary press.
Harry Crosby and his wife Caresse Crosby were responsible for the creation of The Black Sun Press, one of the most integral small presses in Paris in the late 1920s. American expatriates living in France, they championed many of the works of the "Lost Generation" including that of James Joyce with Tales Told of Shem and Shaun, later included in the influential Finnegan's Wake. Their literary cohort incuded the likes of characters such as Ernest Hemingway and D.H Lawrence.
In his the Author's Note, Minkoff specifies that his intentions were to lend "sharper perspective" as to the achievenments of the press which, due to their preference for limited special editions distributed to specific bookshops and with little consideration for commerical regard, have been overlooked by history. The scaricty of record makes this bibliography a highly desirable insight into the revolutionary outlets of The Black Sun.
