Reviews

[Anne Green · Rating 3 out of 5]

Short and snappy snippets of Art Buchwald’s irrepressible humour from his columns published in the Paris edition of the New York Herald Tribune in the fifties. The humour is decidedly of its era, as are the topics, but if you want to get a flavour of the place as it was then, seen from the vantage point of an American (which I did) it’s useful reading.
