Review Excerpt:

Close upon the twentieth anniversary of the student uprisings in Paris comes the poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s novel about a May-September romance set against those few months of profound upheaval. Annie, an American painter living in Paris, has an affair with Julian, an older banker who … is really an anarchist—or so he says.
