HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW

by Louis Bromfield ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 4, 1934

Short stories -- yes -- but with all the magic of Louis Bromfield's versatile and gifted pen and magic weaving art of the story teller. There are four long-short stories in the collection, each a well-rounded novelette, tinged with an underlying bitterness oddly blended with a certain romanticism. Possibly more in the vein of TWENTY FOUR HOURS than others of his books. Whether the central figure is the successful but dissatisfied owner of a speakeasy, or the little old spinster, living vicariously on other people's adventures, or world travelers, hunting the globe for a new sensation, or Miss Mehaffy who comes out of the west to seek glamor in New York-- there's something of pathos and essential humanity in the characterization. Sell on the merit in the stories themselves as well as on Bromfield's reputation.
