From the 1800s, Hugo, Balzac, Flaubert, and Zola offer fascinating portraits of the city's teeming humanity; the Goncourt brothers chronicle the explosion of artistic talent; Huysmans describes an evening at the Folies Bergere. Colette chronicles the pitfalls for a young girl in the decadent city of the early twentieth century; F. Scott Fitzgerald revels in the city's glamour; Jean Rhy's lost heroines wander from cafe to cafe; James Baldwin celebrates its sexual freedoms; and Raymond Queneau gleefully reinvents the language of the street. In our time, Michel Tournier's North African immigrant walks a camel along the boulevards, while Nobel Laureate Patrick Modiano brilliantly maps the city's many arrondissements. The alluring power of Paris has never dimmed and it is richly captured in all its facets in these compelling and seductive tales. 650 0 $a Women $z France $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Nightclubs $z Paris $z Paris $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Short stories, French. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Whiteside, Shaun. 941 $a 1 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528061549.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18AC457C759911E6823382D1DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
