Piece Information
- "The Black Ghosts of Paris"
- Summary: Julia Browne lives in Canada but she feels a strong, even eerie connection to Paris - a feeling that the black writers, intellectuals and performers who found recognition there in the 1930's and 40's are kindred spirits who can help her.

Review of The Black Ghosts of Paris

Part of a series from Canada - "I have two loves -my country and Paris" - a sweet, intimate, and literary subject. Evocative and deeply felt - a woman describing memories of writers in Paris that she never lived. Not a piece about Paris at all, but one about a destination in the head. It's curious - nicely so. At first I thought I wanted to know more about the author to hang on to it - but why really? The ghost of it clings.
