Shakespeare and Company is an English-language bookshop in Paris. It was opened in 1951 and has been a meeting
place for Anglophone writers and readers 41 . Founded by American George Whitman, the bookstore was
originally called Le Mistral. In 1964, Whitman renamed his store 42 a bookseller he admired, Sylvia Beach, who’d
founded the original Shakespeare and Company in 1919. Through his bookstore, Whitman endeavored to carry on the
spirit of Beach’s shop.
From the first day the store opened, writers, artists, and intellectuals were invited to sleep in the bookstore in various
cots that are dotted around the place. These people, 43 as "tumbleweeds," have to promise to read a book a day,
help at the shop for a few hours a day, and produce a one-page autobiography. American actor Ethan Hawke is among
a(n) 44 30,000 people who have tumbleweeded at the store--he stayed there for six nights when he arrived in Paris
at age 16.
Whitman passed away in 2011, two days before his 98th birthday. Now his daughter, Sylvia Whitman, is following
in her father’s footsteps and is dedicated to keeping the spirit of the bookstore 45 . Under her direction, it should
remain a center for Parisian literary life for many years to come.

Here are the facts: 65 million people displaced from their homes by violence and persecution last year. If it was a country,
that would be the 21st largest country in the world. Most of those people, about 40 million, stay within their own home
country, but 25 million are refugees. That means they cross a border into a neighboring state. Most of them are living in
poor countries, relatively poor or lower-middle-income countries, like Lebanon. In Lebanon, one in four people is a
refugee, a quarter of the whole population. And refugees stay for a long time. The average length of displacement is 10
years. I went to what was the world’s largest refugee camp, in eastern Kenya. It’s called Dadaab. It was built in 1991-92
as a "temporary camp" for Somalis fleeing the civil war. I met Silo. And naïvely I said to Silo, "Do you think you’ll ever
go home to Somalia?" And she said, "What do you mean, go home? I was born here." And then when I asked the camp
management how many of the 330,000 people in that camp were born there, they gave me the answer: 100,000. That’s
what long-term displacement means.
