Synopsis
A bumptious narrative history of American newspapermen in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s, a time when serious journalism still went hand in hand with relative poverty, good times, and a carefree spirit cultivated by eccentric personalities. An absorbing and delightful book.

Review
What fun! News of Paris evokes the romantic in those of us who wish we had been there. Listen carefully, and you can hear Gershwin's 'American in Paris' in the background. (Terence Smith, Special Correspondent Newshour With Jim Lehrer)
Ronald Weber gives us an odd and intriguing look at a rarely explored corner of cultural history. Aging journalists will love it, and so will just about everyone else. (Tony Hillerman)
Weber has found and entertainingly explored one of the Lost Generation's lost corners in this engagingly readable history. (Richard Schickel)
What a treat this book is. (Morley Safer E son du grisli)
Faces frozen in...b&w photos become animated in this superb history, thanks to Weber's fluid, detailed writing and flair. (Publishers Weekly)
News of Paris is one of those agreeable books that make you wish you could have lived then and done that. (Roger K. Miller, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)
Readers interested in American journalism as practiced abroad in the 1920s and 1930s will enjoy this engaging book. (Vanessa Bush Booklist)
A useful reminder that the American presence in Paris...was larger and more varied than is usually understood. (Jonathan Yardley The Review of Higher Education)
It was a memorable period, and this is a memorable book. (Norman Rowlinson The Buffalo News)
A vivid account. (Kirkus)
