MILESTONES, Page 35
DIED. Malcolm Cowley, 90, journalist, poet and mild-mannered
Boswell to the Lost Generation of American expatriate writers in
post-World War I Paris; in New Milford, Conn. Drawn to the creative
ferment of the French capital, Cowley joined a literary circle that
included Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos and F. Scott Fitzgerald,
and chronicled the scene in his 1934 book, Exile's Return. As an
editor in the 1920s and '30s, he sympathized with the Communist
Party (but later disavowed it) and championed the writings of
William Faulkner. Cowley's critical essays brought prominence to
Faulkner and nurtured the career of John Cheever.
