Mavis Gallant is revered as one of the finest short story writers of her generation, but she was also an astute observer and formidable reporter. This selection of Gallant's 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 Anderson's star-studded film The French Dispatch and Gallant herself served as inspiration for the female journalist portrayed by Academy Award-winner 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 Gallant's astute reviews of books by major figures such Vladimir Nabokov, Simone de Beauvoir, Colette, and Gunter Grass. No matter what form she's working in, Mavis Gallant's flawless prose is always full of wit and acuity."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Riots $z Paris. $z Paris. 650 0 $a Books $v Reviews. 651 0 $a France $x Politics and government $y 1945-1958. 651 0 $a France $x History $y 1958- 651 0 $a France $x Civilization $y 1945- 700 1 $a Lee, Hermione, $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gallant, Mavis. $t Paris notebooks $d Boston : Godine, 2023 $z 9781567927900 $w (DLC) 2023005863 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231205011600.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6298AEA67A0E11EE96FE52224AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
