David Burke
Author of "Writer's In Paris"
Filmmaker

Gertrude Stein came to her brother Leo's Paris atelier in 1903 where she began her lifelong passion for art and her writing career. Her writing style was deeply influenced by what the painters she admired were doing; particularly by Picasso. The experience of Picasso painting the portrait of her in 1906, signaled both the beginning of Cubism in Modern Art and and modern literature in her writing. Gertrude Stein had relationships with other writers during the 1920s: James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Sherwood Anderson and most notably, Ernest Hemingway.

About David Burke

He also worked on documentaries for ABC, NBC, PBS, and other companies in New York. Since 1986 he has been living in Paris and focusing on France in the books and articles he has written and some of the documentaries he and his wife Joanne Burke have been making, including their work in progress, Paris Noir: African Americans in the City of Light, about writers, artists, jazz musicians, and Josephine Baker in France in the period from 1918 to 1940.David and Joanne have been involved in numerous film projects.

"Ernest Hemingway's Paris: The Paris Of The Lost Generation. More Great Stories."

Ernest Hemingway, a giant of 20th century American literature (a Nobel Prize winner), learned much of his skill here in Paris mingling with the Personalities of the day such as Gertrude Stein, James Joyce and Ezra Pound. Many of his books and short stories are rich in Paris references, most notably “The Sun Also Rises” and “A Moveable Feast”. He was the quintessential American .expatriate of the 1920s. Pamela Grant will present Hemingway's early period in Paris when he lived in the Mouffetard district and Montparnasse. He spent about 7 years there and managed to publish a bestseller “The Sun Also Rises” in 1926 (nearly calling it “The Lost Generation” - a term coined by fellow Paris expat Gertrude Stein to describe World War I Veterans ). The indelible mark that he left on this mythic city has drawn many of us to Paris in search of the Hemingway myth that he spawned nearly a century ago. We'll hear more great stories about who we think of as being :special personalities of a special era

About Pamela Grant: After graduating from Vassar College with a degree in Art History, Pam came to France over 15 years ago to pursue French studies. The "endless beauty and history" of the “City of Light” drew her in. She passed the rigorous French national guide exam and has been leading groups on historic and thematic tours of Paris for over 10 years. Her other passion is writing. Specializing in the film industry, she recently adapted “La Vie en Rose” into English. Hemingway and the Lost Generation is one of her favorite tours.
