Paris Metro: The Diver Case
There was always a dark and violent underside and an air of unreality to the expatriate scene in Paris in the '20s. Paris Metro: The Diver Case explores the place where cosmopolitan cafe life turns deadly and the lines between fiction and reality blur. Protagonist Nick Edwards finds himself in Paris and discusses novels with Hemingway, argues with Zelda Fitzgerald, dines with Dick and Nicole Diver, and pursues glamorous movie star Rosemary Hoyt, even as the bodies accumulate. Nick becomes a detective and claims to have solved the various mysteries of the "Diver case." Paris Metro probes what it means to be "lost" as it depicts the glamour, spirit, and decadence of the "Lost Generation."
