With his characteristic narrative gift, Shaw recalls being young, a writer, and an American in Paris. He reveals the difficulty of the Parisian character, the delightful and peculiar rituals of French life, and the end of his Paris days, when the city had become a different place, and Shaw a different man. And Searle, in four "portfolios" of is spectacular satiric work, provides the perfect visual counterpoint. Together these two men recreate the Paris they both loved and a Paris no reader will soon forget.
