Scott, My Paris.

Scott, Gail. My Paris. First American Edition. U.S.A. Dalkey Archive Press, 2003. 21.5cm x 14cm. 138 pages. With illustrations. Original Softcover. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear.

Short synopsis: In My Paris, a Canadian woman keeps an extraordinary journal of her time in a Parisian studio. Not a real tourist, she prefers indoor spaces, seeing Paris go by on TV or watching from her window the ever-changing displays of men’s designer clothing across the boulevard. Or she roams the streets and old arcades, caught between nostalgia and a competing sense of the present day, between Paris’s rich cultural traditions and the realities of Western imperialism. In her journal she assembles the pieces of the present, past; of art, philosophy; of herself and of the world outside her.
