This book recaptures the colorful, often zany world of Paris-American journalists during the glory days of the expatriate period in the 1920s and 1930s by concentrating on the lives of such figures as Ernest Hemingway, James Thurber, and Henry Miller, and on the life of the major newspapers, including the Herald and the Tribune. "It not only illuminates a golden moment in the history of American letters, it catalogues the lives of the men and women who inspired a whole generation of young reporters."-Morley Safer, 60 Minutes.
