Sylvia Beach was intimately acquainted with the expatriate and visiting writers of the Lost Generation, a label that she never accepted. Like moths of great promise, they were drawn to her well-lighted bookstore and warm hearth on the Left Bank. "Shakespeare and Company" evokes the zeitgeist of an era through its revealing glimpses of James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Sherwood Anderson, Andre Gide, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, D. H. Lawrence, and others already famous or soon to be. In his introduction to this new edition, James Laughlin recalls his friendship with Sylvia Beach. Like her bookstore, his publishing house, New Directions, is considered a cultural touchstone.
Sylvia Beach (March 14, 1887 – October 5, 1962), born Nancy Woodbridge Beach, was an American-born bookseller and publisher who lived most of her life in Paris, where she was one of the leading expatriate figures between World War I and II.

真正的“谈笑有鸿儒 往来无白丁”的地方，能拥有这样一家书店真是此生别无他求了。在感叹Finnegans Wake绝难读懂的时候，为什么不来看看本书里那位鲜活亲切的James Joyce呢？

实话说，内容是相当琐碎的，幽默也显得肤浅。但了解隐情之后怎么忍心说这样的写作trivial呢？“接生婆”这样的自谦背后，多少辛酸。作家与编辑之间的扭曲权力关系内化到写作中，就是这样的结果。
