Time Was Soft There: A Paris Sojourn at Shakespeare & Co. by Jeremy Mercer

2.0

This was a little disappointing. It started interesting enough but fell into the trap of bad autofiction and bellybutton gazing. The writing is average, the tone is uneven. I usually like memoir about writing, books and especially this part of Paris, if only because it has so much history, the neighborhood (St-Julien les Pauvres, the bookstore) is something Highlander fans love. But it's not enough to help the poor style of writing and squattered way the story is told.
