At a time when the dialogue between America and France is strained
by political and cultural forces, As You Were Saying provides a
space for an important and riveting exchange between writers from
these two countries. By pairing some of America's best writers with
their French contemporaries, As You Were Saying shows us the
importance of considering--and responding to--the world beyond our
borders. A unique collaboration, the stories collected here were
begun by the French writers, and then responded to by their
American counterparts. The results are spectacular--funny and
inventive, and an interesting look at the similarities and
differences between how French and American writers approach the
short story. This collection includes stories by some of the most
important contemporary French and American writers, including these
pairings: Marie Darrieussecq and Rick Moody; Lydie Salvayre and
Rikki Ducornet; Gregoire Bouillier and Benjamin Kunkel; Jacques
Roubaud and Raymond Federman; Jean Hatzfeld and Philip Gourevitch;
Philippe Claudel and Aleksandar Hemon; and Camille Laurens and
Robert Olen Butler.
