From the book-collecting author of A Pound of Paper, a personal anecdotal guide to Paris illuminating its recent erotic Bohemian past.

For more than a century, Americans and Britons have been arriving hopefully in Paris. Most were tourists, but a significant number had other motives, ranging from learning to paint or write, to finding a rich husband; from escaping racism and politics to gaining a sexual education. John Baxter arrived because he had fallen in love with a French woman. All of these people arrived because they were re-making their lives.

We'll Always Have Paris is a personal view of Paris as it appeared to the emotionally and intellectually hungry of the world. It is a guided tour of the people and places associated with the Parisian legend. It includes interviews with painters, film-makers, actresses, writers, poets. There are visits to the cafes of Montparnasse where Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Man Ray hung out. It explores the old brothels - temples of sensuality in 18th century Paris - and an erotic bookshop. Above all, it is John Baxter's personal history of Europe's most romantic capital city.

Reviews for We'll Always Have Paris: Sex And Love In The City Of Light

'We'll Always Have Paris is nothing less than an explosive orgy of French cultural and erotic delights' * Jeffrey Greene, author of French Spirits * 'Towers above most recent memoirs of life abroad ... considerably more irresistible than many of the performers at Bernadin's Crazy Horse Show' * Sunday Times * 'A charming insider's guide to literary and artistic Paris ... richly discursive, beautifully held together...if you can't hop on the Eurostar, this little volume and a glass of red make an excellent substitute' * John Harding, Daily Mail *
