In History's Double, Andrea Loselle looks at the relation between tourism and French literature, drawing a distinction between the tourist industry and the "true" experience of travel. Examining the work of such notable writers as Blaise Cendrars, Paul Morand, and Louis-Ferdinand Celine, Loselle discusses the literary representation of tourism throughout the course of the twentieth century.
Themes such as violence, fascism, speed, stereotypes, the symbolic value of amusement parks, the metaphor of the journey, and historical representation are considered and employed as a means of comparing and contrasting French writers.
