Have you ever thought about putting together a sort of literary patchwork quilt based on your Parisian observations? It wouldn’t need to follow any kind of conventional format. It could just be a collection of your random vignettes - no narrative, no plot, just a stroll through the city. You tell it so well!
Thank you so much. Actually I have thought of this, and different forms for it. It's something I'd like to explore once the manuscript for my current book has been approved. I really can't tell you how much getting this little bit if encouragement can help :)
a seconding voice in support of this excellent notion!
i would eagerly acquire, and happily & regularly re-read (or revisit?), such a compilation. as an avid devourer of your writing here, it seems to me that any such selection of your parisian reveries, whether carefully curated or simpler stitched in rough patchwork, would offer readers a measure of coherent threads and through-lines—for us to discover or uncover as various moods might strike. or as life and preoccupations meandered.
may your current WIP find speedy approval and move ahead expeditiously, so that you can dive into this project! said quite selfishly.
Mmm. Such a pleasure to see you back in print. Your baguette, beret, cliché-free vision of Paris is a joy to read. Keep trawling through your archives!
After reading this lovely piece, I decided to send an excerpt to all the smartest people I know to recruit some new readers for you. Don't be surprised if you see a spike! I went with the paragraph on sexism v. misogyny.
