- With the help of thirty of America's most illustrious and perceptive writers -- including Art Buchwald, Anais Nin, E. B. White and Edith Wharton -- editor Jennifer Lee celebrates the world's most seductive city with this delightful anthology. From Mark Twain's hilarious travelogue The Innocents Abroad to Gertrude Stein's nostalgic Paris, France; from Benjamin Franklin's letters to David Sedaris's personal essays -- Paris in Mind is a richly eclectic and often humorous collection. Organized into four sections -- Love, Food, Being Civilized, and Tourism -- it features an introduction for each author as well as an illuminating essay by Lee about the intimate relationship between America and Paris. This lively book promises a thrilling voyage for any curious literary traveler.
