For more than a century, pilgrims from all over the world
seeking romance and passion have made their way to the City of
Light. The seductive lure of Paris has long been irresistible to
lovers, artists, epicureans, and connoisseurs of the good life.
Globe-trotting film critic and writer John Baxter heard her siren
song and was bewitched. Now he offers readers a witty, audacious,
scandalous behind-the-scenes excursion into the colorful all-night
show that is Paris -- interweaving his own experience of falling in
love, with a delightfully salacious tour of the sultry Parisian
corners most guidebooks ignore: from the literary cafes of
Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and de Beauvoir to the brothels where
Dietrich and Duke Ellington held court, where Salvador Dali sated
his fantasies, and Edward VII kept a sumptuous champagne bath for
his favorite girls.
