Soiree Litteraire et Gastronomique

Anthony Steyning is the author of three acclaimed novels. He is also an essayist, critic and playwright whose plays have been performed in Montreal and New York.

From Anthony: "Over the years I seem to have developed a probing type of writing that digs very deep and very wide, curious to find out where the beauty and all the hurt began. First cutting through the crap, I frequently stumble upon how matters really stand in relation to each other--- issues, trends or conditions, ostensibly linked or not but in the end affecting us in a fashion that isn't always evident. Next, I attempt to relive my findings through half-real or fully fictional characters placed in some sort of dramatic context, recreating everything I've put my fingers on while attempting to involve the same core dynamics that produced these in the first place.In other words, real bits of history felt and re-lived from the sidewalks up.". His first novel, "The Vortical Man," was published in Paris and led to Anthony meeting Lawrence Durrell, who became a supporter of his work.His latest novel is "Budapest My Love". Anthony Steyning currently resides in southern Spain. Visit: www.AnthonySteyning.com

Claudia Carroll
Author

" The Long Shadow "

The Long Shadow is a sensual, romantic mystery with roots in the pre and WWII era of Paris, Berlin, which reach into current time, weaving a tangled and dangerous web around François, a Paris magazine publisher, and his Irish-American Taos, New Mexico photographer lover, Claudia.

Pursued on two continents, François and Claudia are totally in the dark about why, until Claudia stumbles onto a series of frightening clues which suggest an ugly resurgence of Nazi terrorism from an unsuspected part of the globe. How does François' father, well-known Jewish artist Elie Rosenberg, a former student of the Bauhaus, figure in this? And what do Latinos and native Americans have to do with neo-Nazis?

Claudia Carroll, who writes under the pen name CJ Carroll, received a late-date Masters in Arts in Education from Harvard (2002) and has engaged in various forms of journalism, creative writing and art for many years. She is working on a sequel to The Long Shadow. Visit

KEPT: A Comedy Of Sex And Manners.Journalist. Author Y. Euny Hong. Paris Soirees Dinner Sun 11 Feb

Our Guest of Honor

Y. Euny Hong
Journalist and Author

" Kept: A Comedy Of Sex And Manners "

Kept: A Comedy of Sex and Manners tells the story of Judith Lee, a 26 yr old Korean American Yale grad living in NYC who has been raised to believe she is an aristocrat. Having never learned to make herself likeable or useful, she incurs monstrous debts. Judith´s seedy aunt introduces her to Madame Tartakov, a beautiful, harpyish Russian emigre and former ballerina who faked Jewish ancestry to gain asylum in the US, and who now runs a brothel of high-class courtesans out of her East 62nd street townhouse. She will pay off all of Judith´s debts in exchange for two years of service at said brothel--and she´ll have to tie her tubes. Seems like a stiff price, but how could a snob like Judith possibly resist the opportunity to live with girls descended from the likes of Vlad the Impaler and Ethelred the Unready?

Y. Euny Hong was the first-ever television columnist for the US Edition of The Financial Times. Her articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal Europe, The International Herald Tribune, The New Republic, The Washington Post;, The Boston Globe, and The Forward, among others. A Yale University graduate (Philosophy), she was recently awarded a Fulbright Young Journalists Award. Euny is working on her second novel. Please visit www.eunyhong.com
