How many times have you had to rely on the company of a book while waiting for a friend with a loose concept of timing? Choose your bar well, though, and you may be kept company by the spirit of the writers themselves. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on London’s Fleet Street was a favorite of Dr Samuel Johnson, Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Brendan Behan attended McDaids in Dublin. Zola, Proust and de Maupassant chewed the fat at the Cafe de la Paix in Paris. There are no less than six bars in Madrid that Ernest Hemingway frequented, including the Museo Chicote. Write a few lines about your favorite literary meeting in the UK and Europe. If you have a relevant photo, please send it – But your words will be appreciated for competitions.
