Huddleston, Sisley. Bohemian Literary and Social Life in Paris, Salons Cafes Studios. First English Edition. 1928. Book is in very good minus condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition.
The author was an American whose experience in Paris was so inspiring he went one step further than most expatriates and became a French citizen. It makes sense after reading this book, particularly his description of the Montmartre aerie he called home—a glass studio and roof garden on a hill seven stories above the ground with panoramic views of Paris. When not enjoying the views from his home, Huddleston frequented the city’s salons and cafes, which he reviews here. There is also commentary on artists, writers, and society figures, such as Josephine Baker, Isadora Duncan, Marcel Proust, and Sarah Bernhardt.
