From "Writers In Paris" - Excerpts www.writersinparis.com

Colette A Paris: In Claudine à Paris, published in 1901, the seventeen-year-old heroine, whose father has dragged her away from their village in Burgundy starts to take a look at the city: "I can't conceive why people live in Paris for their pleasure, without being forced to do so; no, but I'm beginning to understand that you can take an interest in what happens in these big six-story boxes."

Oscar Wilde: Wild's Last Days. "I am dyng beyond my means," Oscar Wilde famously quipped as he lay on his deathbed. And it was perfectly true. Dirt cheap though the Hôtel d'Alsace was, if it hadn't been for the soft heart of the owner, Wilde would have been evicted for nonpayment.. About the the deadful wallpaper in the hotel room he said, "One of us has to go." He went at fourty-six, on November 30, 1900.

George Sand:: George Sand At Her Mansarde Bleue.. The four years George Sand lived in her "mansarde bleue," the top-floor apartment above the treetops were among the wildest years in a life rarely lacking for excitement. During the first few months of 1833, she signed a cntract for her new novel Lélia, became romantically involved with actress Marie Dorval, ended her affair with Jules Sandeau, and had a diasstous fling with Prosper Mèrimée. On June 19 she met Alfred de Musset,and six weeks later began her celebrated affair with the boy wonder of romantic poetry. At twenty-one, he was seven years Sand's junior, as was the discarded Sandeau.

Sunday 9 Sept 2012

Happy Hour. John's Presentation. Dinner and Dessert. More Great Socializing.

Our Guest Of Honor:

John Pearce
Author



Eddie Grant was once a happy man. He was rich and respected, he had a beautiful wife and a handsome young son, and he was an American in Paris. But his happiness ended brutally in the very bad year of 2001, when his wife and son were murdered and his father died mysteriously in an auto crash. Since then nothing has gone right
.

Until 2008, when a cryptic letter from his father’s World War II colleague in Army intelligence pulls him reluctantly into a web of intrigue and death and gives him a slim chance to solve the murders. It also launches him on a dangerous search for the most valuable piece of Nazi loot that remains missing, a famous Raphael self-portrait and crates of Nazi gold bullion that accompanied it.

ABOUT JOHN PEARCE:

John was an AP reporter early in his career, first covering the civil rights movement in Jackson, Miss., and then economics and finance in Washington. He and his wife Jan (who was a Washington Post reporter when we met) moved to Germany, where they wrote on business and finance in the German-speaking world for the IHT.They later went in business, eventually sold their business in Sarasota, FL, and retired a bit early. They spend two months or so in Paris each year where John does research for a series of novels.

From Patricia: For lovers of Paris, a dream of a novel.

Address: A COOL, exotic venue with great food in the heart of the Latin Quarter!

It's €24.00 (EXACT CHANGE) for a fun gourmet dinner at one of our favorite, upbeat restaurants in the Latin Quarter, m° Cluny La - Sorbonne. Free-flowing wine. We'll confirm the address with the reservation.

Dinner, a great topic and meeting , fun new international people.
