Memoirs of Montparnasse (New York Review Books Classics)

In 1928, 19-year-old Glassco escaped to Montparnasse, the haunt of geniuses and a legendarily limitless source of sex and booze. Ultimately, this memoir is less a tale of a particular time and place than it is a delightful hymn to a life of abandon in a never-never land of effortlessly fulfilled desire.
