This chronological anthology presents articles, essays, poems, short stories, and excerpts from memoirs and novels, spanning James D. McCabe, Charles DeKay, and Henry James in the 1870s to Mary McCarthy, Ethan Mordden, and Gregory Corso in the 1990s.

In between are works from more than 70 contributors, including O. Henry, John Reed, Djuna Barnes, Sinclair Lewis, Willa Cather, Edith Wharton, Joseph Mitchell, Lionel Trilling, John Updike, Jack Kerouac, Diane DiPrima, Anaïs Nin, Joyce Johnson, Allen Ginsberg, Edmund White, and Hettie Jones.
