Inside a Pearl: My Years in Paris
Edmund White
When Edmund White moved to Paris in 1983, leaving New York City in the midst of the AIDS crisis, he was forty-three years old, couldn?t speak French, and only knew two people in the entire city. But in middle age, he discovered the new anxieties and pleasures of mastering a new culture. When he left fifteen years later to take a teaching position in the U. S., he was fluent enough to broadcast on French radio and TV, and in his work as a journalist, he?d made the acquaintance of everyone from Yves Saint Laurent to Catherine Deneuve to Michel Foucault. He?d also developed a close friendship with an older woman, Marie-Claude, through which he?d come to understand French life and culture in a deeper way.
The book?s title evokes the Parisian landscape in the eternal mists and the half-light, the serenity of the city compared to the New York White had known (and vividly recalled in City Boy). White fell headily in love with the city and its culture: both intoxicated and intellectually stimulated. He became the definitive biographer of Jean Genet; he wrote lives of Marcel Proust and Arthur Rimbaud; and he became a recipient of the French Order of Arts and Letters. Inside a Pearl recalls those fertile years for White. It?s a memoir which gossips and ruminates, and offers a brilliant examination of a city and a culture eternally imbued with an aura of enchantment.
