Reviews

*Booklist Starred Review* “This achingly effective book is an album of crisp, evocative black-and-white photographs of locations in Paris that speak to some aspect of Hemingway’s time there. Accompanying—and amply informative—captions link Hemingway’s Parisian experiences to the photos of the haunts and hangouts, the landmarks and public spaces, that, if marble edifices and green spaces and hallowed café walls could talk, would tell their side of how Hemingway lived and loved and was altered in outlook by his enviable sojourn there.” —Brad Hooper, Booklist

“Countless writers have channeled Hemingway in the years since The Sun Also Rises first appeared, not many of them successfully. Hemingway's Paris also aspires to achieve the master's legendary fourth, or even fifth, dimension -- not with prose alone, but with images too, working hand-in-glove. Is it ambitious? Yes. Does it work? Absolutely.” —J. Michael Welton, The Huffington Post

“This book evokes not only the beauty of Paris but especially of Hemingway’s remembrance of the early Paris years and his formation as a modernist writer. The exquisite photography and the evocative beauty of the prose bring out the very best of what Paris has to offer: past, present, and, forever, the future. Read this book and savor Hemingway’s city.” —James Meredith, President, The Ernest Hemingway Foundation and Society

“By showing us the Paris that Hemingway saw, walked through, and loved, Robert Wheeler gives us a more complete picture than we have had of this legendary and complicated American writer." —Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University

“Wheeler's photographs of Hemingway's Paris are a gritty illustration of what Perkins saw in Hemingway's writing.” —Jenny Phillips, grand-daughter of Hemingway’s longtime editor, Maxwell Perkins

“In this photographic tribute to Ernest Hemingway, Robert Wheeler uses his unerring eye and masterly vision to bring us Paris, city of literature and romance, in a unique and charming way. Inspired by A Moveable Feast, the crisp black-and-white images and accompanying narrative give us an original insight into both beloved city and renowned author. A delightful experience!” —Valerie Hemingway, Author of Running with the Bulls: My Years with the Hemingways

“If you’re interested in Hemingway or Paris, this book is a must read.” —Sun Also Rises (Blog)
