About this audiobook
In 1948, an Austrian-Hungarian Jewish 22-year-old from New York began his new career. Determined to be famous, he bought a one-way ticket to Paris, France. His assignment: cover nightclubs, sidewalk cafes, and weddings for the legendary Paris Herald Tribune. For the next 14 years, he developed a life and career by socializing and reporting on the folkways and foibles of some of the most powerful and famous people in the world.
In I' ll Always Have Paris, Art Buchwald remembers those golden years— when he fell in love with a redhead named Ann, spoofed Hemingway, dined with gangsters, and crashed costume balls in Venice. Filled with Buchwald's extraordinary gift for storytelling, this memoir is a true delight.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There are times where Art Buchwald was an insufferable bore, and other times when he was actually witty and interesting. The book has elements of both Buchwalds, but luckily it's more the latter than the former. His books of alleged humour haven't held up nearly as well, I think, but this memoir of Paris in the 1950s and early 1960s reads fairly well. There's a lot of name-dropping here, though some of it is tongue in cheek. Some of it might even be true, who knows?
