Some places in Bristol suppose?
Bristol has an extremely iconic and influential music scene in the UK. I believe it's also one of the easiest places to cover the cost of living as a student in the Britain. I'm not sure it quite has the same international rayonnement as that of France during the 1900th and early 20th centuries, but it seems promising. Can you give me some examples of expat literature from Paris? I'd love to hear some recommendations.
The former was about Gertrude Stein, who in many ways embodies the Lost Generation. And I would be remiss in failing to mention Fitzgerald, who in my opinion was the finest author of that circle. He wrote one of my favorite books, This Side of Paradise (and though it was neither written in France nor is it about France, it deserves wholeheartedly the Lost Generation tag). He also wrote, of course, Tender is the Night, a quintessentially depressing novel set on the Riviera about the sorts of American expats who populated it.
