TranscriptSHAKESPEARE & Co.
Paris Sunday: two weeks we’ve been here. Stayed in room till 3 oclock; bathed, washed hair; then took cab to Shakespeare & Co. near Notre Dame. Bought secondhand copies of O’Hara’s The Ewings & Henry Green’s Back. Onion soup in the nearby brasserie; then walked back to hotel alongside the Seine checking book stalls along this way. Returned before full dark. Huger cancelled Balzar reservation, & we went instead to Chez Jenny, XXX 3; sauerkraut & ham hocks Reisling wine. Back in room by 11: early, for us. Began the O’Hara, his last novel & the only one I hadnt read. |
