Exiled in Paris provides a compelling look at the personalities who fueled the literary and philosophical dramas of postwar Paris: James Baldwin, Alexander Trocchi, Boris Vian, Maurice Girodias, and many others.

James Campbell interweaves the cultural and societal happenings in post-WWII Paris. Writers, musicians, communists, opportunists; some combination of them all – they gathered on the Left Bank. Jazz, “rude and erotic,” “the black man’s mastercrime of cultural defiance” thrived.
In literature, Merlin magazine’s writers collaborated with Olympia Press’ Maurice Girodias to mass-produce pornography, while the Paris Review did its own thing.

The main thing they all sought in the Left Bank was freedom, Campbell believes. And for the most part, there they found it. ( )
