WRITERS IN THE LUXEMBOURG GARDENS:  A DOUBLE WHAMMY

Two stories this time.  Part 1 is about 20th century American writers in the Luxembourg Gardens -- Henry James, Ernest Hemingway,Gertrude Stein, and (surprisingly, perhaps) William Faulkner.  Part 2 is about outstanding French writers of the 19th century who have statues and busts in the garden -- Balzac, Victor Hugo, George Sand, Flaubert, Baudelaire, Verlaine, and a couple of others -- copiously illustrated with photos and my pithy comments. Both pieces were first published in Richard Nahem's sprightly web magazine I PREFER PARIS.
