Having first arrived three weeks after it was liberated in 1944, I fell in love with Paris and have never lost this love. Since that time, I have lived there and visited it every time I had the opportunity. I am 84 and retired and now make it a point to spend a week there every November. "Paris Was Yesterday" gives me a picture of the city, its character and its citizens in days I would love to have lived there. No matter what you may think of the French, they do have a "joie de vivre" you will not find any where else in the world. This book will show you what I mean.

for Paris lovers
I ordered these after reading about Janet Flanner in Alice Steinbach's Without Reservations. Flanner ("Genet" for the New Yorker) writes about concerts, exhibits, deaths, films, celebrities...in short, everything you need to form a picture of Paris in the period entre-deux-guerres. Witty, charming and a good read for a commute, as they're segmented and range from a paragraph to a few pages in length.
