We'll Always Have Paris: Sex And Love In The City Of Light - Softcover
For more than a century, Americans and Britons have been arriving hopefully in Paris. Most were tourists, but a significant number had other motives, ranging from learning to paint or write, to finding a rich husband; from escaping racism and politics to gaining a sexual education. John Baxter arrived because he had fallen in love with a French woman. All of these people arrived because they were re-making their lives.
We'll Always Have Paris is a personal view of Paris as it appeared to the emotionally and intellectually hungry of the world. It is a guided tour of the people and places associated with the Parisian legend. It includes interviews with painters, film-makers, actresses, writers, poets. There are visits to the cafes of Montparnasse where Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Man Ray hung out. It explores the old brothels - temples of sensuality in 18th century Paris - and an erotic bookshop. Above all, it is John Baxter's personal history of Europe's most romantic capital city.

Review:
"'We'll Always Have Paris is nothing less than an explosive orgy of French cultural and erotic delights'" (Jeffrey Greene, author of French Spirits)
"'Towers above most recent memoirs of life abroad ... considerably more irresistible than many of the performers at Bernadin's Crazy Horse Show'" (Sunday Times)
"'A charming insider's guide to literary and artistic Paris ... richly discursive, beautifully held together...if you can't hop on the Eurostar, this little volume and a glass of red make an excellent substitute'" (John Harding, Daily Mail)
