About This Book

Fortelleren beskriver sin amerikanske oppvekst og sin fars press for at han skal utdanne seg til billedhugger, noe som fører ham til studier i Paris. Han skildrer studentlivet i Quartier Latin, en konflikt mellom romantiske idealer og en svakhet for god mat og vin. En beruset episode på en kafé utvikler seg til en pinlig nattevandring og et møte som innleder vennskapet med Jim Pinkerton. Fortellingen berører temaer som kunst mot penger, sosiale forskjeller og hvordan tilfeldigheter kan forandre et liv.
