In 1919, he became the editor of The Nation. In 1924 he moved to Paris where he maintained a literary, salon and encountered the great literary minds of the day: Gertrude Stein, Thomas Mann, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sigmund Freud, and many others. Lewisohn's fascinating life makes for lively reading as Melnick exposes the intellectual, emotional, and sensual sides of this Jewish literary figure.
