Tweet if I missed the Rapture

Not noticing anything - but if, as Hemingway said, Good Americans go to Paris when they die, it's possible it happened without my being aware?

Lovely day today, sleeping late & then lunch just down the street at our friend Maud (the woman whose thesis defense at the Sorbonne we raced down from Amsterdam to attend, what, 3 yrs ago? She is an art/interstitial historian whose thesis was on Alexander the Great in Medieval iconography)'s newish apartment, meeting her newish baby (14 mos) for the first time.  Quel p'tit bruiser!  But she swears the sweater Delia knit him (extra big, she thought)  will fit him just fine.  Their building has a big courtyard with bushes & benches & jasmine, and a French-African family with 9 kids (one of whom now has a kid of her own) all live on the ground floor, and everyone in the building looks after everyone else's kids, who all play togetehr - it reminded me of a cross between a Malian village and the suburb where I grew up w/kids all running wild together in the backyards.

Maud took us to Musee de Cluny (and if you've never been, don't miss it!) for a courtyard lecture/demo on medieval swordfighting techniques. She herself is also a historical fencer (17c, not medieval), and when it was done she went into the museum Gift/Bookshop & badgered them about ordering A la Pointe de l'Epee  (oui, c'est Swordspoint en Francais), the darling.

Then we parted ways, and Delia & I walked on down Blvd St Germain to our old neighb in the 6th, utterly not resisting the siren call of Le Mouton a Cinq Pattes, a crazy discount hole-in-the-wall where we found adorable things for cheap and bought them despite our pledge to try to fit no more clothes into our overstuffed apt closets - did I mention that it's really hot here & we brought all the wrong clothes? - and then to bistro Atlas where we sat outdoors on rue Buci & ate salad & mussels & frites & drank a pichet of good dry rosé, and talked about Delia's next short story, and were, I think, as happy as it is possible, briefly, to be.

Walked back to metro first crossing the Seine on Pont des Arts, whose locks reminded me of Bordertown, and I'm going to tweet some photos of them & the legal graffiti in Bellevile,

I hear you are feeling slightly better now? I hope Paris CURES you! And a little discount shop! And your book in French! It all sounds frabjous et magnifique! Brava! - csec

To my absolute astonishment, cough is slowly beginning to abate, and I am able to climb stairs without puffing. I think it's MD horsepills, not Paris - or possibly even the "gouttes aux essences" that my friend Aviva made me buy yesterday at the pharmacy (where, here, they stock all things homepathic right along with the aspirin-with-codeine etc.): containing oils of peppermint, cloves, thyme, lavender & Ceylonese Cinnamon, it's yummy in a glass of water, even if that's all!

Thank you for your good wishes, my dear. Hope all's well with you, too.

Please continue to feel better, and yay! No rapture! I -will- get to read the new Borderlands book! Excellent, excellent! Continue enjoying Paris!

Hurray! Have you entered the Amazing Sweepstakes yet?

I'm still here, but I don't think that proves anything...

Epée

[identity profile] jeannelisabeth.livejournal.com 2011-05-22 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Just got to Paris myself on Wednesday, saw the beautiful poster for 'L'Epée: usages, mythes, symboles' at the Musée Cluny the other day, thought to myself that I must drop a line to let you know it was here while you were here - but I see you are way ahead of me on this one! I'm hoping to go this afternoon.

Will we get to see photos of your new duds? I thought I was going to splurge on a new jacket or two at Eva Tra La La while I was here - but you are so right, it's hardly the weather for it!

Re: Epée

[identity profile] ellen-kushner.livejournal.com 2011-05-22 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Enjoy Cluny swordplay! Just get there in time to get a spot in the shade, if you go for the demo.

EveTraLaLa - probably Monday! But, yeah; the only way we're justifying buying stuff is that we needed summer things, anyway - and they're light to pack.....

Have we met in NYC? Would you know me if you saw me on the street? Stranger things have happened (esp in Paris) - say Hi if you do!

Re: Epée

[identity profile] jeannelisabeth.livejournal.com 2011-05-22 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Saw the sword play from the shady bench against the wall of the courtyard - a lot less romantic and much more brutal than I expected, but fascinating nonetheless.

We've never met, but I grew up in New York, went to Barnard, love your books, used to organize my Sunday afternoons around Sound and Spirit - if I still lived in New York I would definitely have come to one of your readings by now, and then we surely would have met. If I see someone who looks like you, I will take the risk and say hello.

So nice! Where do you live now?

Rochester by way of Chicago. And now changing the topic entirely, can I say that I read the new Bordertown book when I got back from France and love, love, loved every single syllable? I think it is my favorite book in the series so far - such a beautiful mix of bitter and sweet, so hard sometimes, and yet so hopeful. Thank you to you and Holly Black for bringing the book together, and again to both of you and everyone in it for writing so well.

Rapture?
