Harold Loeb

Harold Loeb

Harold Albert Loeb (1891–1974) was an American figure active in the arts in Paris in the 1920s. Loeb attended Princeton University where he boxed. Loeb served in World War I and after the War was Ernest Hemingway's sparring partner. Loeb served as co-editor of Broom, An International Magazine of the Arts (along with Alfred Kreymborg).[1] He was the cousin of Peggy Guggenheim. He had an affair with Kathleen Eaton Cannell as well as with Duff, Lady Twysden. Ernest Hemingway used him as the model for the literary dabbler Robert Cohn in The Sun Also Rises, with Twysden being the model for Brett Ashley.

His novel, The Professors Like Vodka, was published in 1927, and reissued in paperback (with a new afterword by the author) in 1974. Loeb published a memoir in 1959 titled The Way it Was: A Memoir. Loeb also wrote the book, Life in a Technocracy: What it Might be Like [2].

He was married to Marjorie Content with whom he had two children.[2]
