This book examines the works of American writers in Paris and explores the evolving interactions between these writers and French society from the 1800s to the present. It reveals a deepened understanding and an increased acceptance of different traditions and values, and shows a considerable cultural complexity, reflecting not only a transcontinental but also a global vision in the literature of these writers in the context of the City of Light.
