Mostly she is speaking here of her more famous friend and colleague, the French actress Giselle Fayolle, in whose shadow she has spent her career. "My life was a near miss," she adds, before explaining that she enunciated well because "I loved to say the words." A very short novel with the power and resonance of a much longer one, Anne-Marie la Beautae is a profound and moving act of remembrance, a clear-eyed assessment of the hard-edged nature of fame, a meditation on aging--and a wonderfully observant and comic exploration of human foibles. In short, another thought-provoking master class in how we perform life by the peerless Yasmina Reza"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Memory $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Beauty, Personal $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Aging $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Strayer, Alison L., $e translator. 730 0 $a Anne-Marie la Beautae. $l English 941 $a 2 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210803010831.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722065026.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85756A2CEAB411EB95DB475F3FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
