I'll Always Have Paris: A Memoir door Art Buchwald

I really, really enjoyed this book! I wasn't sure if I would but I gave it a try and it was so good! I wanted to be annoyed by his constant name-dropping but he's just such a loveable guy that I just couldn't! Usually the cocky types really bug me--but I really think his cockiness is just a cover for insecurities...he seems like he was a really great guy. (Just read last week that he had passed away). I actually cried at the end because everything turned out so well! :) I especially liked it that he made mention of the book, "Best Loved Poems of the American People". This was one of my grandma Betty's favorite books and my mom has found a poem from it for me here and there over the years.… (meer)

Too Soon to Say Goodbye door Art Buchwald

A peculiarity of Buchwald's career; while a lot of his books have not aged well, this one is likely to hang on (along with his memoirs of reporting from Paris), because of the fact that he is reporting on something close to him. In this case, his pending death from a variety of complications. It's more or less an account of his final weeks of life, from the point of view of the hospice where he was staying. The humour here is, unlike his political work, authentically funny.

I'll Always Have Paris door Art Buchwald

There are times where Art Buchwald was an insufferable bore, and other times when he was actually witty and interesting. The book has elements of both Buchwalds, but luckily it's more the latter than the former. His books of alleged humour haven't held up nearly as well, I think, but this memoir of Paris in the 1950s and early 1960s reads fairly well. There's a lot of name-dropping here, though some of it is tongue in cheek. Some of it might even be true, who knows?
