It never fails to entertain." - Margaret Atwood Like its author - whom I knew quite well in the 1960s - the book is a loveable and eccentric rogue, fond of style and up to mischief. "It's wonderful to see John Glassco's charming Memoirs of Montparnasse getting the international recognition it deserves. ![]()
