*Booklist Starred Review* This achingly effective book is an album
of crisp, evocative black-and-white photographs of locations in
Paris that speak to some aspect of Hemingway’s time there.
Accompanyingand amply informativecaptions link Hemingway’s
Parisian experiences to the photos of the haunts and hangouts, the
landmarks and public spaces, that, if marble edifices and green
spaces and hallowed café walls could talk, would tell their side of
how Hemingway lived and loved and was altered in outlook by his
enviable sojourn there.” Brad Hooper, Booklist
Countless writers have channeled Hemingway in the years since The
Sun Also Rises first appeared, not many of them successfully.
Hemingway's Paris also aspires to achieve the master's legendary
fourth, or even fifth, dimension -- not with prose alone, but with
images too, working hand-in-glove. Is it ambitious? Yes. Does it
work? Absolutely.” J. Michael Welton, The Huffington Post
This book evokes not only the beauty of Paris but especially of
Hemingway’s remembrance of the early Paris years and his formation
as a modernist writer. The exquisite photography and the evocative
beauty of the prose bring out the very best of what Paris has to
offer: past, present, and, forever, the future. Read this book and
savor Hemingway’s city.” James Meredith, President, The Ernest
Hemingway Foundation and Society
By showing us the Paris that Hemingway saw, walked through, and
loved, Robert Wheeler gives us a more complete picture than we have
had of this legendary and complicated American writer." Henry
Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and
Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American
Research at Harvard University
Wheeler's photographs of Hemingway's Paris are a gritty
illustration of what Perkins saw in Hemingway's writing.” Jenny
Phillips, grand-daughter of Hemingway’s longtime editor, Maxwell
Perkins
