When Paris Beckons

When Paris Beckons is Martin Kleinman’s third collection of short stories. In seventeen stories, Kleinman captures what humans have gone through in recent years, and shines a light on what may lie ahead. His previous work includes “A Shoebox Full of Money” and “Home Front.”

IN PRAISE OF WHEN PARIS BECKONS

 “Another excellent collection of short stories from the prolific Martin Kleinman. His prose is lyrical. There are Kleinman’s steady themes of loss, family, anger and grief but there are new ones too -- Covid and anti-semitism -- that make this collection feel modern and even prescient. Kleinman has hit his stride, perfectly weaving humor and pathos.”
