Please join me and other contributors to the anthology Wandering in Paris, as we read selections of this new release from Wanderland Writers. We’ll be at A Great Good Place for Books in Oakland on Friday, November 22, at 7:00.
A Great Good Place for Books is in Montclair Village at 6120 La Salle Ave., Oakland. It’s a general bookstore, specializing in literary fiction and children’s books … but what you’ll hear from us is lively nonfiction based on our experiences in the City of Light.
Readers include:
Joanna Biggar
Linda Watanabe McFerrin
Antoinette Constable
Anne Sigmon
Cindy Rasicot
Laurie McAndish King
Kitty Hughes
I haven’t decided which story I’ll read from, but it will be one of these:
- French Kiss: In which I research Parisian intimacies in an attempt to discover what makes French women so … French. And what makes a French kiss French. Also involved: Parisian household appliances and expensive lingerie.
- Bien-Etre at the Hammam: In which I find myself nearly naked and smeared with a mysterious goop in a roomful of strangers who do not speak English. In the midst of thick, swirling steam. Without my glasses.
- Death in Paris: In which I am haunted—and then healed—by the Specter of Death while visiting the city that loves to celebrate the macabre, from reliquaries and taxidermy to cemeteries and catacombs.
Hope to see you there!
