Paris, So to Speak
Navid Kermani
© Carl Hanser Verlag
A writer, after a reading session, meets his childhood sweetheart who is by now married. The two spend an evening getting to know each other afresh through long conversations. They talk about relationships, love, missed opportunities, longings, about existence itself. Through the depiction of the encounter, the present and the past intermingle, just as dialogue and inner monologue.
