Blume, Mary
A French affair : the Paris beat, 1965-1998 / Mary Blume ; drawings by Ronald Searle - New York, NY : Free Press , c1999. - xx, 279 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.
Blume (Cote d'Azur: Inventing the French Riviera) has lived in France for over three decades. Here is a collection of 61 of her International Herald Tribune columns, which includes commentary on French social and cultural life and profiles of writers and film directors. She describes, among other things, a museum built in honor of the bearded lady of Thaon, Clementine Delait; a street still waiting to be named; and an uprising led by the regulars of a restaurant who do not want things to change under the new management. All of which read like absurdist comedy. Illustrations by Ronald Searle enhance the irreverent and perceptive text. These essays give us an insider's view of things quintessentially French.
