George Whitman of „Shakespeare and Company” — Paris famous English bookstore — dies ...
It actually happened almost when I arrived this time to Paris... So it was also a sign to me - I am unquestionable lover and patron and frequenter of this little yet incredible Parisian bookstore...
I only pity that I can't stay here for George's funeral (Thursday, Père Lachaise) - yet I kindly invite all my French friends to pay tribute to this unusual person...
The bookstore will stay as it was, led by his daughter, but it is hard not to notice that certain era in Paris' cultural life ended....
