Summary: Fiction. SUR LA ROUTE is a novel in postcard-like vignette - a series of brief, vivid, poetic episodes that trace the path of a disaffected American woman "on the road" in France and western Europe. It's the winter of 1994 and she's fled the blandness of Los Angeles for Paris, carrying with her only a list of the names of friends-of-friends, a couple battered suitcases and a longing to be part of a more sensual, nuanced and mysterious world. She moves breathlessly through that world, the peripatetic rhythm of events mirrored in the restless, lyrical narrative. Along the way, she falls in love with a man, a woman, a city, a way of being in the world and her own life. By turns sexy, intriguing, and passionate, her experiences require her to open her heart as widely as possible, even (and always) at the risk of breaking it.
