title: Expatriate Paris: A Cultural and Literary Guide to Paris of the 1920s
author:  Arlen J. Hansen 
description: For travelers, Francophiles and the curious, this gossipy retrospective of expatriate life in Paris in the 1920s is a mosaic of quick glimpses--Sarah Bernhardt sleeping in a coffin to overcome her fear of death, Igor Stravinsky diving through a huge wreath at the premiere of his ballet Les Noces , Ford Madox Ford meeting Ernest Hemingway, Langston Hughes near starvation, Josephine Baker establishing her nightclub. The hundreds of short entries are organized geographically around 32 neighborhoods. Turn to "Hotel Ritz," and you learn that novelist Elinor Glyn stayed there as a WW I reporter, and that F. Scott Fitzgerald's story "Babylon Revisited" begins and ends at the hotel's bar. William Faulkner, Coco Chanel, Salvador Dali, Marc Chagall and Isadora Duncan are among the luminaries whose selective doings can be tracked with the aid of indexes that cross-reference streets, places, names and topics. <BR>Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  1922: Literature, Culture, Politics examines key aspects of culture and 
  history in 1922, a year made famous by the publication of several 
  modernist masterpieces, such as T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land and 
  James Joyce’s Ulysses. Individual chapters written by leading scholars 
  offer new contexts for the year’s significant works of art, philosophy, 
  politics, and literature. 1922 also analyzes both the political and intel-
  lectual forces that shaped the cultural interactions of that privileged 
  moment. Although this volume takes post–World War I Europe as 
  its chief focus, American artists and authors also receive thoughtful 
  consideration. In its multiplicity of views, 1922 challenges misconcep-
  tions about the “Lost Generation” of cultural pilgrims who flocked 
  to Paris and Berlin in the 1920s, thus stressing the wider influence of 
  that momentous year.
