Acclaimed author Noel Riley Fitch, abetted by noted artist Rick
Tulka, serves the dish on Select, the famous Montparnasse cafe that
for nearly nine decades has been so vital to Paris and its
intellectual denizens: from Hemingway, Beauvoir, Picasso, James
Baldwin, and George Plimpton to the writers and artists who
continue to work quietly there in the back room or heatedly debate
every topic imaginable into the night. The artists have their work
on the walls; the novelists include the cafe setting in their
fiction. The quiet and drama of the Select world illustrates the
centrality of cafes particularly this one to Parisian social,
cultural, and intellectual life. Blending pithy profiles and witty
drawings of clientele and staff, the book is organized around a
history of the cafe, its daily and seasonal rhythms, particular
colorful patrons, and even its typical cafe/brasserie food
(including a few recipes)."
