Memoir of Maurice Magnus

By D.H. Lawrence and Maurice Magnus

D. H. Lawrence once said that his memoir of Maurice Magnus, written in 1922, was "the best single piece of writing, as writing, that I have ever done." Maurice Magnus was a fascinating, almost comically well-educated ne'er-do-well, small and red-faced and strutting, who, once he was introduced to the writer, began crossing his path unexpectedly yet regularly, usually looking for a handout, and quickly turned from an amusing, affectionate acquaintance into a stalking menace, "a mongrel," "a vampire," "a curse." He was also a literary inspiration.
