Good but brief review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book gives a brief review of life in Paris before World War 2. It covers James Joyce, Reynaud, Bricktop, Joesphine Baker and other. It should have covered more about foreign policy, and incidents such as the assassination of the Nazi diplomat in Paris and Munich. These incidents contributed to World War 2 and The Fall of France to the Germans in 1940.
Completely engaging

Mr. Wiser's Book on Paris is a fascinating desultory hop through the City of Light in the thirties. It's filled with little known, and all too brief, insights into personalities from James Joyce to Hemingway to Dali and Picasso. An excellent read. Well worth the time. (Although Mr. Wiser's facts might need some checking as regards the death of Louis XIV. (Page 129))
