Parler Paris Nouvellettre® continued... It always amazes me when someone arrives in Paris who DOES NOT KNOW all about the renowned bookstore, that had its beginnings with Sylvia Beach in 1919 when she opened the first English language bookstore in Paris at 12 rue de l'Odéon. It quickly became the center of Anglo/American literary culture in Paris and frequented by the most illustrious writers and patrons. The bookstore's legendary beginnings and utopian ideals were carried forward by George Whitman when he reopened it in 1951 under the same name and with the same philosophies. George, now well into his 90's, has the good fortune of having a beautiful, young, smart, sweet and adoring daughter who is carrying the legend with her as if on a magic carpet ride. Her name, appropriately, Sylvia Beach Whitman. I have particular admiration for Sylvia, as a "guiding light" and "shining star" on the English language landscape in the City of Light from which she draws her glow. This past Monday night, the room was filled to the brim with admirers of Cara Black author of "Murder in the Latin Quarter" and Leighton Gage, author of "Blood of the Wicked." Both authors were fascinating to hear -- both of the same publisher, both writing similar kinds of murder mysteries -- one whose books are set in Paris, the other set in Brazil. In my quest to bring you a 'slice of life' in Paris from the Anglophone community, here's a short video of Cara Black's talk at Shakespeare & Co., as she introduces a French criminal inspector who was in charge of the Princess Diana investigation and with whom she has worked to verify her research for her books. Click here to be at Shakespeare & Co. with Cara Black, Leighton Gage and the rest of us!: (Note: if the video does not appear in your email, click here.) We'll
be back there Friday night to hear the participants of the
Paris Poetry Workshop read their work, after the results of
the week's work, so join us from 7 to 9 p.m., 37, rue de la
Bucherie, 5th and meet many of those responsible for this
legendary establishment that just improves with age, thanks
to the youth Sylvia brings with her. |
