What explains Beach’s work at that particular time and place is better covered by Benstock-women of the Left Bank were drawn to Paris by a freedom that allowed them to take the other women in their lives as their muse. That should go without saying (rather than saying it over 400 pages). Of course Sylvia Beach was dedicated to literature, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah. ![]() Exhaustive almost to the point of tedium, Fitch’s work covers much of the same ground as Shari Benstock’s Women of the Left Bank and the documentary “Paris was a Woman.” Fitch’s approach, however, is the more banal one. ![]()
