Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Taxi drivers, street sweepers, a bouquiniste, unsuccessful prostitutes, a menaced bicycle rider, noisy children, an old woman shunted aside in a crowd, and some disgruntled animals at the zoo populate these poems. Unreeling like a series of clips recorded during a stroll through Paris, the book is wickedly funny, but it is also a bittersweet meditation on how "the river of forgetfulness carries away the city." This is the poet's love letter to Parisâa Paris that is always in the process of becoming superannuated. Rachel Galvinâs lively, idiomatic version is the first complete translation available in English.
