Paris Was Yesterday : 1925-1939

janet flanner

This is a collection of those letters written in the 1920s and 30s, perhaps one of the most fascinating periods in the city's history, and it reads like an arts "Who's Who". Flanner saw it all and knew everyone (or at least all about them), and there are titbits about the likes of James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Isadora Duncan, Diaghilev, Gertrude Stein, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Picasso and Marlene Dietrich.
