Odile Hellier: Village Voices, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Founded by Odile Hellier in 1982, The Village Voice Bookshop in Paris was a hub for anglophone literary life and a meeting place for French, American and English literati for over three decades. Hellier's collective memoir brings to life authors, publishers, and friends of the bookshop, and it narrates some of the most important reflections and debates of 20th century literary history. She has mined decades of archival footage to present anecdotes and insight from the spontaneous exchanges of literary and cultural icons like Margaret Atwood, Don DeLillo, Allen Ginsberg, Toni Morrison, Michael Ondaatje, Jim Harrison, Barry Gifford, Raymond Carver, Adrienne Rich, David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Edmund White, Art Speigelman, Stephen Spender, and so many other shining lights. Village Voices is a life-long curatorial project by a bookseller trying to preserve the history of her much-loved bookstore. Her historical archive is an enduring conversation across time"--
