ISBN: 9781567927894
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt

Riveting . . . rollicking . . . elegantly captures a changing France reckoning with the cultural revolutions of the mid-20th century.Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Enthralling essays on the expatriate experience in Paris and shrewd literary criticism by one of the twentieth centurys finest writers.

Mavis Gallant is revered as one of the great short story writers of her generation, but she was also an astute observer and formidable reporter. This selection of Gallants essays and reviews written between 1968 and 1985 begins with her impressions of the Parisian student uprising in May 1968. Originally published in The New Yorker, The Events in May inspired Wes Andersons film The French Dispatch and Gallant herself served as inspiration for the journalist portrayed by Frances McDormand.

Paris Notebooks presents a whole range of subjects portraying French society, ranging from architecture and literature to the gripping story of Gabrielle Russier, a young French schoolteacher driven to imprisonment, madness, and suicide as the result of an affair with one of her students. Also included are Gallants astute reviews of books by major figures such as Vladimir Nabokov, Simone de Beauvoir, Colette, and Günter Grass. No matter what form shes working in, Mavis Gallants flawless prose is always full of wit and acuity.

This Nonpareil edition includes a new introduction by acclaimed literary biographer Hermione Lee.
