Anonymous asked: I'm looking for a good read over winter break before I head to Paris for the semester. Any suggestions?

Yes! Enrique Vila-Matas’ Never Any End to Paris is narrated by a Hemingway-loving young man wandering around Paris wondering why his experience isn’t more like Hemingway’s. Very good. (Also A Moveable Feast, of course.)

Edmund White’s The Flaneur should be next on your list.
