Julian H. Croft

Literary Historian & Editor

“The dawn of the twentieth century ruptured classical linearity. Fitzgerald, Woolf, and Kafka re-engineered the sentence itself, transcribing the jagged psychology of human memory, disillusionment, and metamorphic dread.”

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald
