Anybody who loves reading about the romantic literary Paris of the 1920's will love this non-fiction book, written by a Canadian author, Morley Callaghan, of his time there with Hemingway, the Fitzgeralds, and other famous authors of the era. I have read That Summer in Paris twice and loved it.

Morley Callaghan's excellent memoir of the expatriate scene on Paris's left bank in 1929, THAT SUMMER IN PARIS, was first published in 1963. Callaghan wrote the book because he found he was deeply affected by the tragic suicide of his one-time friend, Ernest Hemingway, and memories of Paris from that long-ago summer began to float to the surface of his mind until he decided to write of it.

Canadian writer Morley Callaghan was a 20-year-old student who had talked his way onto the reporting staff of the Toronto Star when a star war correspondent named Ernest Hemingway came on board. Hemingway knew another writer by instinct and took the younger man under his wing, continuing to advise and advocate for him after decamping to Paris.
