Paris Was Yesterday Flanner Janet
In 1925 Janet Flanner began writing a fortnightly 'Letter from Paris' for the nascent New Yorker. Paris Was Yesterday is a collection of those letters written in the '20s and '30s, surely one of the most fascinating periods in the city's history, and it reads like an Arts Who's Who. Her brief: to tell New Yorkers, under her pen name of 'Genet', what the French thought was going on in France, not what she thought.
In the brilliantly entertaining style she made her own, Flanner mixed high and low culture to devastating effect. Flanner saw it all and knew everyone (or at least all about them), and there are tidbits galore about the likes of James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Isadora Duncan, Diaghilev, Gertrude Stein, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Picasso, Marlena Dietrich...It's witty, catty, literary and unashamedly gossipy, a lively portrait of the thriving cultural life in Paris between the wars. ' Cafe Society described from the best table in the place, by a writer with rare & vivid gifts.
