First line

In that spring of 1948, I hitchhiked to New York from California, and bought a one-way ticket on the Marine Jumper, a rusty, battered World War II troopship.

From the jacket flap

"ART BUCHWALD DOES IT AGAIN. . . . A GREAT READ."
--Larry King, USA Today
In 1948, an American innocent named Art Buchwald set sail for Paris, France, determined to crash Hemingway's moveable feast and make himself famous. What's more, he did it.
Now he remembers those golden years--when he wrote for the Paris Herald Tribune, fell in love, spoofed Hemingway, dined with gangsters, and crashed costume balls in Venice. Everything that has made Buchwald one of the world's best-loved writers is in this funny, enchanting, poignant book.
"HONEST AND MOVING . . . A CONSUMMATE STORYTELLER."
--The New York Times Book Review
"ROLLICKING . . . The book gallops and gambols along. . . . Buchwald is a master of the anecdote."
--The Baltimore Sun

He received the Pulitzer Prize for outstanding commentary in 1982 and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1986. Buchwald was the author of thirty-three books, including the New York Times bestseller Leaving Home, a collection of political commentary, Beating around the Bush, and a memoir, Too Soon to Say Goodbye.
