Following Helen Constantine's highly successful Paris Tales, Paris Metro Tales offers 22 remarkable short stories set throughout Parisall connected by the underground tunnels of its famed Metro.The journey begins at the Gare du Nord, stops at 20 underground stations along the way, and ends at LamarckCaulaincourt, each story corresponding to one of the 20 arrondissements of Paris. Readers are invited to find their way through the underground, changing trains when necessary and imaginatively emerging to read a story it its original setting. The stories range from the 15thcentury account of the miraculous Saint Genevieve, patron saint of Paris, through tales by favorite writers such as Zola, Simenon, Balzac, and Maupassant. Though connected by the metro, the subjects of these short stories vary widely: from Martine Delerm's gripping narrative of the last hours of Modigliani's mistress to Grard de Nerval's rich evocation of the bustling market in Les Halles in the 1850s, Colette's unlikely involvement in a traffic accident near the Opra, and Boulanger's fine description of a blackly funny experience in Pre Lachaise. In addition to writers well known to the Englishspeaking world, this collection also includes French authors whose work deserves wider attention, including Frdric Fajardie, Martine Delerm, Marie Desplechin, Paul Fournel, and Claude Dufresne. Each story is illustrated with a blackandwhite photograph and the book includes a map and suggested itinerary through the metro system.Perfect for fans of Paris Tales, connoisseurs of French fiction, and all short story enthusiasts, Paris Metro Tales offers rare glimpses of the darker side of the 'City of Light.'
