Summary

"ART BUCHWALD DOES IT AGAIN. . . . A GREAT READ." --Larry King, USA Today In 1948, an American innocent named Art Buchwald set sail for Paris, France, determined to crash Hemingway's moveable feast and make himself famous. What's more, he did it. Now he remembers those golden years--when he wrote for the Paris Herald Tribune, fell in love, spoofed Hemingway, dined with gangsters, and crashed costume balls in Venice. Everything that has made Buchwald one of the world's best-loved writers is in this funny, enchanting, poignant book. "HONEST AND MOVING . . . A CONSUMMATE STORYTELLER." --The New York Times Book Review "ROLLICKING . . . The book gallops and gambols along. . . . Buchwald is a master of the anecdote." --The Baltimore Sun
