The Last Time I Saw Paris
by Elliot Paul
A a wonderful, unknown book written between the two wars by an obscure but brilliant American journalist who wrote about one street — the Rue de la Huchette in the 5th arrondissement — which he first saw in the Summer of 1923. He writes a biography of the street and all the cast of characters who live there – the hookers, vegetable sellers, barmen, coal man, and ordinary people.
