Albert Hahn; Mid-Century Survey by William A. Orton; Lament for a Generation: The Class of '36 Reports by Ralph de Toledano (which begins, "We were not beautiful or damned. We did not dance to the sad, mannered jazz of Scott Fitzgerald's generation, nor did we kick the dust of the Ritz with silver slippers of disillusion. No one called us a lost generation; to be lost, there must be something to be lost from. If we had a poet laureate, it was T.S. Eliot whose 'Wasteland' left us more dismayed than shattered. But even Eliot was not really ours; he represented the revolt of an earlier generation against the sandy bohemianism of the Left Bank and the clatter of Hemingway's prose style").
