Description

Abstract from the publisher :

You don't have to live in Paris to experience her unique beauty, allure, and enchantment. With this dazzling literary celebration of the City of Light, you can stroll along the Seine with David Sedaris in Me Talk Pretty One Day, sample croissants in a patisserie with M.F.K. Fisher in As They Were, and savor Mona Lisa's smile at the Louvre with Mark Twain in Innocents Abroad.

With fascinating annotations on the works, the writers, and the wonders of one of the world's most beautiful places, A Literary Paris takes you on a bon voyage through this incomparable city--one mot juste at a time!
