No city has attracted so much literary talent, launched so many illustrious careers, or produced such a wealth of enduring literature as Paris. From the 15th century through the 20th, poets, novelists, and playwrights, famed for both their work and their lives, were shaped by this enchanting locale. From natives such as Molière, Genet, and Anais Nin, to expats like Henry Miller, Samuel Beckett, and Gertrude Stein, author David Burke follows hundreds of writers through Paris's labyrinthine streets, inviting readers on his grand tour. Unique in scope and approach, Writers in Paris crosses from Right Bank to Left and on to the Ile de la Cité as it explores the alleyways and haunts frequented by the world's most storied writers. Burke focuses not only on their writing but on their passions, ecstasies, obsessions, and betrayals. Equally appealing to Francophiles and serious readers, this engaging book includes maps and more than 100 evocative photographs.

    From the medieval poet-thief François Villon to his twentieth-century counterpart Jean Genet, from Rabelais to Henry Miller, from Molière to Samuel Beckett, from Madame de La Fayette to George Sand, from Colette and Gertrude Stein to Simone de Beauvoir and Marguerite Duras, Paris has nurtured countless poets, novelists, and playwrights who were among the finest writers and most intriguing personalities of their times.

    A “MAGNET,” a “Mecca,” an “incubator,” a “hothouse” for writers—all these things Paris has been called, and rightly so. No other city has attracted so much literary talent, launched so many illustrious careers, or produced such a wealth of enduring literature.
