A Literary Paris
A Literary Paris: Hemingway, Colette, Sedaris, and Others on the Uncommon Lure of the City of Light (Adams Media, 2010) is a compilation of novel excerpts set in Paris, each one depicting a character’s thoughts and experiences as an outsider in The City of Light.
The unique anthology is set to be released in bookstores in August, 2010, and is now available online for pre-order.
A Literary Paris is a beautifully designed book in linen over board and filled with antique postcards of Paris carefully selected to relate to the story it precedes in some fashion. Not only is the book a great read, but it will make a fantastic souvenir or gift.
“America is my country,
Paris is my hometown.”
~Gertrude Stein

I’ve done a lot of radio interviews lately and the topic has been the book vs. the movie. (Of course, I’m always on the side of the book) The hosts have asked a lot of questions. Here are a few. I’d love to hear your responses to them:
What books made the worst movies?
What books made great movies?
Why is the book almost, if not always, better?
What books haven’t been but should be made into movies?

A Literary Paris is filled with beautiful antique postcards all used by travelers visiting Paris from England, America, Germany and other faraway lands in the late 1800′s and early 1900′s. In case you’d like to see what these travelers wrote to their friends and family, you can see the backside, of many of these postcards here.

Pendant la Belle Saison (antique postcard)
With these words, Irwin Shaw captured the Paris he knew. But Hemingway, Colette, and Maugham had their own distinct observations and peculiar opinions of this great city, which they captured in carefully chosen words and evocative imagery. A Literary Paris is an anthology that brings together the world’s greatest writers and the stories they set in one of the world’s most captivating and inspiring cities.

A Literary Paris is making its way across the country, appearing in local bookstores on the east coast last week, and across the country in Barnes and Noble and Borders in the coming weeks. If you have any trouble finding it, please search under “Robinson” rather than “Robertson” — a few databases have it wrong.
Google Books now has a sample of the book with selected pages, so take a look:

The book, is also available on Amazon.com, but they have almost sold out of their initial inventory.
