Time Was Soft There

Buy book: $10.63

"Time Was Soft There" is one of the great stories of bohemian Paris and recalls the work of many writers who were bewitched by the City of Light in their youth. Jeremy's comrades include Simon, the eccentric British poet who refuses to give up his bed in the antiquarian book room, beautiful blonde Pia, who contributes the elegant spirit of Parisian couture to the store, the handsome American Kurt, who flirts with beautiful women looking for copies of Tropic of Cancer, and George himself, the man who holds the key to it all...

I'm not much of believer in redemption, but having read the first three sections of this, I'm thinking that this creep is in need of some big time redemption. I hope his story takes a big time turn for the better in Paris.

I'm looking forward to reading this book and finding out about Shakespere and Company in the present day. I was enthralled by stories of Sylvia Beach and those who frequented the bookstore, including Hemingway.
