Patricia's profiles:

Patricia writes on being an Expat:

"... As the years went by, I also realized that the feeling of being foreign and other, transcends even race. You are not part of their (French) culture. It doesn't matter who you are or of what origin you are. You're either French (in your head and behavior), or not. When I began to see that, I began to identify myself as an expat. The sum of being an American who lives in Paris, an African-American trying to find roots here, minus not being French - but seeing life internationally - on a large scale and permanently, equals my personal experience of being an expat."

RENDEZ VOUS CHEZ PATRICIA This Sunday 24 June At 18h30 Visit Patricia's website - http://www.parissoirees.com/ Our Guests of Honor: Jack Stack, Author of the Thriller ."Dickster" Deep Cobra, PERFORMANCE Poet (The emphasis here is on performance. Deep Cobra is a real performer) Jack Stack's 'Dickster' is the first part of a D-Thrilogy (3 part thriller) about the fantastic life and adventures of his character Richard Travelle. In this first novel, night clubber, Richard Travelle, having cut ties with his family, tries awkwardly to find himself, to gain control of his life. But his huge weapon and the local mafia seem to have other plans in store for our young hero. Jack Stack wrote for underground peoplemagazines, of a dubious nature, in Canada. With 'Dickster, ' his first novel, Mr. Stack recounts the part of Richard Travelle's life when he was wild and wily, carousing through Parisian nightlife. From Jack Stack: Please let us keep Richard's presence at Patricia's hush-hush, for this publication has put Mr. Stack's life in peril. He has gone to great lengths to recover the rest of D-Thrilogy (the rest of Richard's life extravaganza), dodging assassins in Berlin, and having to take refuge in the more beautiful regions of southern France. For one night only. Visit: http://www.dicksterland.blogspot.com/ Deep Cobra (Mervyn R. Seivwright) is an international PERFORMANCE poet, a nomad constantly traveling to touch and inspire hearts. He is a Jamaican born in England, grew up in both cultures and is widely traveled..

Deep Cobra has been writing for 24 years, performing poetry for 12 years across the East Coast, Mid-Western, and South-Eastern regions of the United States.

RENDEZ VOUS CHEZ PATRICIA

This Sunday 10 June At 18h30 Visit Patricia's website - http://www.parissoirees.com/

Thank you for including your telephone number with your reservation! Really important.

Our Guest of Honor Thirza Vallois, Author, Expert On Paris
Paris: "Contradictions, Myths, Charm"
A memorable opportunity to hear author Thirza Vallois.

Fun, entertainment, inspiration, enlightenment, gossip, scandals and sex, are all on the menu.
Thirza Vallois is the world-renowned author of the legendary "Around and About Paris" series and "Romantic Paris". She contributes regularly to the international media - BBC, PBS, CNN, the Financial Times, United Airlines' Hemispheres. She has Paris at her finger tips! Almost all of the press is her new book about the last hidden corner of France : "Aveyron, A Bridge to French Arcadia" (www.thirzavallois.com). This week we will discover the second arrondissement — from the famous market street, rue Montorgueil, to the historical neighborhood of the press, where Emile Zola's J'accuse, in the defense of Alfred Dreyfus, was printed, and where Jean Jaurès was assassinated.... And where Louis XV's last mistress the du Barry was first discovered working in a bordello. The neighbourhood of the notorious Cour des Miracles, described by Victor Hugo in the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the burial place of playwright Molière, and fable writer La Fontaine. The route taken by Louis XVI's tubmbril on its way to the guillotine. If you think you know Paris well, you will be amazed how much more you can learn as Thirza Vallois spins the enthralling story of Patricia's neighbourhood, past and present

Signed copies of "Around and about Paris" and "Romantic Paris" will be available for purchase. Visit: www.thirzavallois.com
