Kafka Was the Rage: A Greenwich Village MemoirWhat Hemingway's A Moveable Feast did for Paris in the 1920s, this charming yet undeceivable memoir does for Greenwich Village in the late 1940s. In 1946, Anatole Broyard was a dapper, earnest, fledgling avant gardist, intoxicated by books, sex, and the neighborhood that offered both in such abundance.

What Hemingway's A Moveable Feast did for Paris in the 1920s, this charming yet undeceivable memoir does for Greenwich Village in the late 1940s. In 1946, Anatole Broyard was a dapper, earnest, fledgling avant-gardist, intoxicated by books, sex, and the neighborhood that offered both in such abundance. Stylish written, mercurially witty, imbued with insights that are both affectionate and astringent, this memoir offers an indelible portrait of a lost bohemia.

We see Broyard setting up his used bookstore on Cornelia Street--indulging in a dream that was for him as romantic as "living off the land or sailing around the world" while exercizing his libido with a protegee of Anais Nin and taking courses at the New School, where he deliberates on "the new trends in art, sex, and psychosis." Along the way he encounters Delmore Schwartz, Caitlin and Dylan Thomas, William Gaddis, and other writers at the start of their careers. Written with insight and mercurial wit, Kafka Was the Rage elegantly captures a moment and place and pays homage to a lost bohemia as it was experienced by a young writer eager to find not only his voice but also his place in a very special part of the world.

I can't put a pic of me with my eyes barely open and a big red note bigger than Rudolph's!!!!!
I tried this item because of the description given on the website, unfortunately, I had a bad reaction to one use of it and I ended up in the Emergency Room at my local hospital.....what a waste of $$$ for me, especially because it said it was all natural.....I have never had a reaction to anything I have put on my face before....I still have a big red nose and one side of my face/nostril is full.....

It feels refreshing
I applied the Dewyhour Eye Balm Cool Stick, and it instantly feels refreshing, almost like a menthol sensation. It’s very cooling and soothing on the skin. However, I recommend not applying it too close to your eyes, as the cooling effect can be a bit strong in that area. Overall, it works well to hydrate and refresh the under-eye area, and I love the silky texture it leaves behind!

Desde que lo uso, he notado una gran diferencia: mis ojos lucen más despiertos y luminosos.
Esta maravilla es perfecta para esos días en los que las ojeras parecen más pronunciadas. Su fórmula ligera y fría proporciona un alivio inmediato, dejando la piel alrededor de mis ojos fresca y revitalizada. Lo mejor de todo es que su aplicación es súper sencilla: solo desliza la barra suavemente y siente cómo se derrite en la piel, brindando una sensación de frescura instantánea. 🙌 Además, es ideal para llevar en el bolso y usar en cualquier momento del día. Desde que lo uso, he notado una gran diferencia: mis ojos lucen más despiertos y luminosos. Sin duda, es un must-have en mi rutina de belleza.

It brightens before your eyes!
You know how some products need time before you see the difference, this one doesn’t. As soon as you apply it you can visibly see how light your under eye is. The formula is very rich, not too moist it just makes my under eyes look sooo vibrant!
