WJ Weatherby, ‘The Loners of Paris: James Jones Interviewed by W J Weatherby’, Guardian, 26 October,1961, p. 7.

Article reflecting on American ex-patriates on the Siene of the 1960s. JB mentioned briefly by Jones in response to a question about the word ‘ex-patriate’:

“The ex-patriate, our innocent abroad, perhaps feels he’s getting away from both East and West. Many people here are like that without being aware of it, without thinking it through like I have tried to. It’s a matter of getting away from being an Organisation Man”.

Jones then comments on African Americans becoming “Organisation Men”: “I’m not blaming them. Everything they’re doing is correct but they can’t do it except through an organisation”. Comments on how African Americans “who don’t want to be Organisation Men” are “in the left field” and refers to JB who “wrote a critical article about Harlem and the Negro papers didn’t like it. He mustn’t criticise his fellow Negroes!”.
