    The London Making of a Modernist: John Cournos in Babel

    Abstract

    Critic, reporter, translator, editor, novelist, poet, playwright — John Cournos (–) fulfilled all these writerly posts with distinction, if not financial success, during his nearly twenty years as an American writer in England (–).
