Shakespeare & Company–the legendary Parisian English-language bookstore–then owned by Sylvia Beach and Adrienne Monnier.
The best sound byte description of Ms. Beach:
Gertrude Stein without wealth and ego.
Ms. Monnier's ego was even smaller.
In 1921, James Joyce bemoaned his inability to get Ulysses published in the United States.
Sylvia invested blood, sweat, & tears, plus many dollars to get the book published in the USA
James Joyce got all the dividends of fame & infamy.
