A review by jainabee
Shakespeare and Company by James Laughlin, Sylvia Beach

4.0

Chatty and charming, like listening to an old auntie tell about her exciting youth at the tea table. Which is pretty much what this is. All the real juice is elsewhere. Maybe in her letters?

Yet it's a fun and fascinating read. An all-star Left Bank cast from one of the most colorful places and times ever. And all rosy-colored in the recollection. Almost made it impossible for me to continue loathing Joyce.
