Recounts the experiences of a long-forgotten part of the American expatriate population. In this book, the author details the politics of citizenship, work, and business, and the wealth (and poverty) among the Americans who staked their claim to the City of Light.

Trade Review
"A fascinating, compelling, and sometimes hilarious look at the Americans of the Right Bank: those who lived across the river from the Lost Generation and belonged to a world apart. Who knew that 90 percent of the interwar Americans in Paris rarely visited Shakespeare's and never heard of Gertrude Stein? Green's wonderful book tells the untold story of the American businessmen, lawyers, renters, heiresses, and slackers who created the 'American colony' in Paris and never thought of writing the Great American Novel." (Edward Berenson, New York University)"
