John Glassco makes an appearance in this month's Men's Fashion:
John Glassco's Memoirs of Montparnasse is a classic in the literature generated by Paris in the 1920S, a time when Glassco, born in Montreal in 1909, got to hang with Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce. But as Brian Busby points out in the first sentence of the introduction to his new biography, A Gentleman of Pleasure: One Life of John Glassco, Poet, Memoirist, Translator, and Pornographer ($40, McGill-Queen's University Press), Glassco, among all those other things, was also, by his own confession, an “accomplished liar." That by itself promises a tale of truths as fascinating as fiction.
