Expatriate Paris: A Cultural and Literary Guide to Paris of the 1920s
this book has been super influential because of its overall interest in the depth of the life style in which people in Paris lived. From chapter to chapter it has constantly made me gain more knowledge and experience the culture that Paris had to offer during the times of the 1920s. It recreates important events in Paris which were considered the mark of history, and where great authors and artists came together to be recognized all throughout Paris. This novel really grabbed my attention because it showed authenticity in the way the author created scenes where you almost felt like you were breathing the same air the authors were at the time. I love to have found this particular writing style which has inspired me to be more creative and detailed with the stories that I tell from others perspectives. This book conveys a more surprisingly real and detailed style with true facts that occurred during this era, which I think is what I needed in order to imagine myself living in that time to understand it more thoroughly. I truly would recommend this book to other people whom are interested in traveling into a new world of cultural art, wealth, and tourism. I have also recognized the author’s way of “keeping it real” where he talks about topics that were common back in the twenties such as music in Paris, Russian immigration, lesbianism, the effect of rich Americans on Paris, and many others they discussed that made me find the book even more interesting and satisfied to have read.
