Bookstore by day, hostel by night: Shakespeare and Company, founded by American George Whitman, resides in Paris and has seen the likes of Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs transit its halls. This literary utopia where readings, meetings, and tea take place has hosted over 40,000 visitors across time. The fee for staying overnight? You must work in the shop, read a book a day, and write an autobiography (and include a picture) before you leave. Check out Molly Dektar’s photographic account of her experience, In The Stacks.
