I can't speak for the French of that time, but my
*impression* of the zeitgeist is that these
American writers' works were surealistic, e.g., "nothing is
as it seems," which somehow struck
a chord with a certain segment of the French artistic scene
of the time. And which MacDonald
are you referring to, John D.?
