Reflections on Paris Salons…upcoming Paris studies

Live out Loud, think with all your heart, welcome the voices of others

The two Salons this past weekend in Paris reminded me (if I needed reminding) what an amazing community gathers there for our work together…and the (forgive the cliché) particular je ne sais quoi of Paris–that effervescence and higher reach feeds the Salon work as well. We spoke of inheritance, race, gendered fear, mythologies and eruptions to mythologies, the compulsion to wilderness, the wildness within…and that was just the beginning.

NEXT UP
Friday October 19th 6-10 PM The Bear by William Faulkner (for those who could not join for this one)
Saturday October 20th The Wasteland three hour intensive (afternoon)

I had been thinking of offering a third study but schedule and family conspired- The Fury and Watching Eyes will wait…I am creating a page on the websote to include Salonistas’ recommended reads–please submit (to my email or into the comments section) any book (it doesn’t have to be serious literature…if there is such a thing…) that you have or are enjoying with a few words of context. And keep those recommendations coming; we do have world enough and time….

 

“Just to say what a tremendous salon that was…Faulkner really works for us all! “–Paris Salon participant, 09.12

“So…just wanted to say how much I enjoyed The Bear salon, (it was
magic) and the start of our work on The Passion of New Eve…The grey matter was stirred up because my texto (if you didn’t receive
it) written in the metro, read:

‘In effect, how else to proceed but by imitation of man’s image of
woman because we do not (yet) have our own authenticity.'”

Thank you to all who participated offering their time, energy and most authentic selves.

November 23-25th weekend: Short stories (Carver & Cheever) The Aeneid (Fagles translation) Details to follow…
