From 1972: Janet Flanner recalls being among “a small contingent of youngish American expatriates” in Paris, “richer than most in creative ambition and rather modest in purse.”
It is now more than a half century since Paris for the first time began to be included in the memories of a small contingent of youngish American expatriates, richer than most in creative ambition and rather modest in purse. For the most part, we had recently shipped, third class, to France across the Atlantic.
Shortly after Sylvia had opened her shop, she received the visit of two American women. “One of them, with a very fine face, was stout, wore a long robe, and had on her head a most becoming top of a basket. She was accompanied by a slim, dark, whimsical woman; she reminded me of a gypsy.” They were, of course, Gertrude Stein and Miss Alice B. Toklas.
Still strong today are the memories of the good new taste of the Paris food that I was eating for the first time precisely in that long “Ulysses” publishing period.
Up to the nineteen-thirties, I mostly lunched in my Rue Jacob restaurant in the company of some minor Surrealists, Surrealism having become the latest Paris revolutionary aesthetic movement, such as Paris always foments when the cerebral sap of the Gallic mind runs in two opposite directions at once, one aiming at the destruction of a present society and the other at the establishment of a utopia on which nobody can agree.
