Inhaltsangabe

A Place in the World Called Paris is an unprecedented gathering of the twentieth century's most distinguished writers, each revealing a special facet of the City of Light. This anthology of more than 170 short excerpts from fiction, poetry, essays, and memoirs presents fresh and unexpected views of Paris: Franz Kafka on riding the Metro; Truman Capote on visiting Colette in her apartment in the Palais-Royal; Jane Kramer on Parisian style; Claude Debussy and Rainer Maria Rilke on the Luxembourg Gardens; E. B. White on the Liberation; and Maya Angelou on Paris nightlife.
Susan Sontag, in the foreword, evokes both the real and the longed-for Paris, where she lived on and off for many years. Miles Hyman, an artist living in Paris, has created atmospheric charcoal drawings that introduce each section of the book. And Steven Barclay has lent his special vision of the city to this book through his insightful selection of pieces and his intimate preface.
This special volume is for everyone who loves and remembers Paris, whether from literature or from their own walks along the Seine.
