Flneuse: Women Walk the City in Paris, New York, Tokyo, Venice, and London,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
FINALIST FOR THE PEN/DIAMONSTEINSPIELVOGEL AWARD FOR THE ART OF THE ESSAYA New York Times Notable Book of 2017The flneur is the quintessentially masculine figure of privilege and leisure who strides the capitals of the world with abandon. But it is the flneuse who captures the imagination of the cultural critic Lauren Elkin. In her wonderfully genderbending new book, the flneuse is a determined, resourceful individual keenly attuned to the creative potential of the city and the liberating possibilities of a good walk. Virginia Woolf called it street haunting; Holly Golightly epitomized it in Breakfast at Tiffanys; and Patti Smith did it in her own inimitable style in 1970s New York.Part cultural meander, part memoir, Flneuse takes us on a distinctly cosmopolitan jaunt that begins in New York, where Elkin grew up, and transports us to Paris via Venice, Tokyo, and London, all cities in which shes lived. We are shown the paths beaten by such flneuses as the crossdressing nineteenthcentury novelist George Sand, the Parisian artist Sophie Calle, the wartime correspondent Martha Gellhorn, and the writer Jean Rhys. With tenacity and insight, Elkin creates a mosaic of what urban settings have meant to women, charting through literature, art, history, and film the sometimes exhilarating, sometimes fraught relationship that women have with the metropolis.Called deliciously spiky and seditious by The Guardian, Flneuse will inspire you to light out for the great cities yourself.
