2/28/18 thread about the Revue Noire's issue number 20


Here is the link to my Twitter thread about the magazine Revue Noire's issue number 20.

The thread is partly a history of the magazine Revue Noire, as I learned of it from Bennetta Jules-Rosette's book Black Paris. It's also a review of issue number 20 itself, which focuses on Paris and has an article on Hip Hop in Paris. And the device or justification of this thread is a YouTube playlist, which is built around a CD that had originally been included with this issue, but which I did not receive with the used copy of the magazine that I bought.

3/24/16 review of book The Other Paris, by Luc Sante

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of Luc Sante's book The Other Paris.

This is a really good book about Paris in the 19th century. Unfortunately, my thread doesn't give much of a summary of the book. Nevertheless, I love this book.

Here is the link to Macmillan's web page for the book.

I got this book at the Tattered Cover Book Store in Denver, Colorado.
