A rich work of literary and cultural history, The Left Bank Revisited: Selections From The Paris Tribune 1917-1934 chronicles the vibrant expatriate scene that flourished in Paris during the interwar years through carefully curated excerpts from the European edition of the Chicago Tribune. Editor Hugh Ford presents a fascinating mosaic of journalism, criticism, and cultural commentary written by and about the legendary writers, artists, and bohemians who gathered on the Left Bank — figures such as Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and Ezra Pound. The selections illustrate how the Paris Tribune served as both a record of and a participant in one of the most creatively explosive periods in modern literary history. Scholarly yet deeply readable, the anthology captures the irreverent wit and intellectual energy of a community that fundamentally reshaped Western art and literature, making it an indispensable resource for anyone drawn to the Lost Generation and the golden age of American expatriate culture.
