An Autobiographical Novel

Hamalian revises and expands Rexroth's 1966 An Autobiographical Novel with material left after the poet's death in 1982. Rexroth's original memoir, which PW called ``one of the most lively and intelligent autobiographies we have read in years,'' detailed his life until 1927, when he was 22; this new edition spans two additional decades of his literary career.
