Americans in Paris

Americans in Paris gathers the writers who crossed the Atlantic and found, in the cafés, hotels, boulevards, and back rooms of Paris, a different sort of literary life. From Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald to the wider circle of American expatriate authors who made the city their refuge, workshop, and sometime ruin, this collection explores the enduring relationship between American literature and Paris.

Discover English-language books by American writers in Paris, including novels, memoirs, essays, and literary classics from the Lost Generation and beyond. A collection for readers drawn to expatriate Paris, twentieth-century literary history, and the Americans who came to the city looking for freedom, fortune, inspiration—or simply a good table and another bottle of wine.
