Product Information
An intimate portrait of a legendary generation of artists, writers, activists, and dreamers who created a utopia on the shores of Cape Cod during the first half of the twentieth century. Their names are iconic: Eugene O'Neill, Willem de Kooning, Josef and Annie Albers, Emma Goldman, Mary McCarthy, Edward Hopper, Walter Gropius--and the list goes on and on. Scorning the devastation that industrialization had wrought on the nation's economy and culture in the early decades of the twentieth century, they gathered in the streets of Greenwich Village and on the beachfronts of Cape Cod. They began as progressives but soon turned to socialism, then communism. They founded theaters, periodicals, and art schools. They formed editorial boards that met in beach shacks and performed radical new plays in a shanty on the docks where they could see the ocean through cracks in the floor. They welcomed the tremendous wave of talent fleeing Europe in the 1930s. At the end of their era, as the postwar economy boomed, they took shelter in liberalism as the anti-capitalist movement fragmented into other causes in the 1960's. John Taylor Ike Williams, who married into the Cape's artistic world and has spent fifty years talking and walking its shores with these cultural and political revolutionaries, gives us the twisting lives and careers of a staggering generation of American thinkers and creators. The Shores of Bohemia records a great set of shifts in American culture, of ideas and arguments fueled by drink, infidelity, and competition that made for a fifty-year conversation among intellectual leaders and creative revolutionaries, who found a community as they created some of the great works of the American century. This is their story. Welcome to the party!

Reviews
" The Shores of Bohemia, not only explores the unreliable boundaries between the local and the global, it marks, as well, the various intersections of historical event, human mysteries, and pure magic." -- Michael Cunningham , author of The Snow Queen "This wonderful book utterly beguiled me. On the surface, it is about a small portion of Cape Cod, the three final towns: Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown. Yet it is about much more than that, and tells a beautiful story about friendship and creativity at the height of the American Century." -- Ted Widmer , author of Lincoln on the Verge: Thirteen Days to Washington "Surely no place has had so many brilliant American painters, playwrights, novelists, architects, and intellectuals as the three towns at the end of Cape Cod did from 1910 to 1960. Ike Williams has found them all and given us an astonishing portrait of their lives together. Who could put this book down?" -- Frances FitzGerald , author of The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America "Bloomsbury, Brook Farm, Montmartre--at various points in history, talented and highly motivated individuals with utopian ideals have congregated and sought to create a new world. In the middle decades of the 20th century a remarkable group of American writers, artists, actors, and political activists gathered in both Greenwich Village and the outer regions of Cape Cod. Drawing on personal knowledge and with exquisite detail, in T he Shores of Bohemia , John Taylor Williams provides a definitive account of who did what, with (and against) whom, and with what effect. An informed, illuminating, and alluring read." -- Howard Gardner , author of A Synthesizing Mind "A fascinating, lively, and erudite account of an incredibly rich flowering of creativity on Cape Cod, told with grace and wit and a storyteller''s panache." -- Joseph Finder , author of House on Fire "A cornucopia of characters whose lives in the first half of the 20th century made the outermost reaches of Cape Cod a site of exuberant artistic creativity and social and political experimentation. The bohemian world Ike Williams depicts will fascinate readers interested in the winds and tides of modern American culture as well as those of us who today walk the Cape''s beaches and swim in its waters." -- Drew Gilpin Faust , author of This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War "The political warriors, refuseniks, writers, artists, architects, intellectuals and lovers who gathered on Cape Cod''s distant crescent shores between WWI and the 1960s have rightly been honored as famous individuals. The great virtue of ''Ike'' Williams''s The Shores of Bohemia is in linking them for the first time as an American community in revolt against their society, like no other. From John Reed and Emma Goldman to Mary McCarthy and Edward Hopper, Eero Saarinen and Norman Mailer they are all here, in a huge cast of extraordinary characters: drinking too much, talking too much, swimming too much, fishing too much, mating too much, but all contributing to the Atlantic Zeitgeist: a community of Bohemians, the loves and likes of which we will probably never see again in this country." -- Nigel Hamilton , author of War and Peace: FDR''s Final Odyssey "No more out-of-the-way place ever exerted such a powerful influence on American art, literature, politics, and intellectual life as outer Cape Cod in the mid-20th century. Williams shows with brisk authority how and why, but most absorbingly who. He can sketch a whole life in a sentence. The resulting portrait is like a Bruegel painting, thick with personalities and incident--with marriages, affairs, skinny-dipping parties, architectural movements, political arguments, addictions, recoveries, plays, spies, revolutions, elections, deaths, and rebirths." -- Salvatore Scibona , author of The Volunteer, "No more out-of-the-way place ever exerted such a powerful influence on American art, literature, politics, and intellectual life as outer Cape Cod in the mid-20th century. Williams shows with brisk authority how and why, but most absorbingly who. He can sketch a whole life in a sentence. The resulting portrait is like a Bruegel painting, thick with personalities and incident--with marriages, affairs, skinny-dipping parties, architectural movements, political arguments, addictions, recoveries, plays, spies, revolutions, elections, deaths, and rebirths." --Salvatore Scibona, author of The Volunteer
