Annotation
Examines recent American mystery novels set in 1920s Paris within the context of the modernist movement, noting stylistic and thematic links between the modern and the mystery. Regards A Moveable Feast and The Sun Also Rises as important influences on the writing of the Parisian experience. Durham concludes that the fluidity between fact and fiction in much of Hemingway’s writings on Paris has postmodern tendencies.
