Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Meral is an exhaustive, meticulous reader who imparts his encyclopedic knowledge in a succinct, highly readable, and clear style. He succeeds admirably in demonstrating how this vast array of disparate writers has responded to the myth of a foreign culture.--French Review

Reseña del editor:

Meral explores the ways in which Paris constitutes an authentic literary subject and analyzes the differing responses to the city of such American writers as Henry James, Edith Wharton, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Pasos, and Henry Miller. Central is that idea that, although literary Paris reflects the changing fortunes of real Paris, the Paris depicted remains a uniquely American one because the heroes of the works are expatriate Americans, who apprehend the city through a foreign sensibility.
