Somehow I've never read any of these classics. I think I'll start with Dickens. Thanks for the inspiration!

It’s not a novel, but “A Moveable Feast” by Ernest Hemingway is a delightful book with vignettes about life in Paris between the Wars and includes Hemingway’s interactions with Sylvia Beach of “Shakespeare & Co.” bookstore and includes Hemingway relaying info about his friends and acquaintances Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, John Dos Passos, James Joyce, and more….

Enjoy, Larry A.

Ah yes I hesitated about adding A Moveable Feast but decided against it since it’s a memoir and not a novel.

You can also add all the Patrick Modiano's novels. His novels are always located in the 50's or 60's years, searching old places.

Quiet and poetic !
