The stories in Plugging the Causal Breach explore the lives of a
disparate collection of characters from French life. Many live in
the shadow of the wonders of historic Paris, others in the villages
of Normandy, others still in the French Midi. Here, tellingly
brought together, they form the scattered mosaic of a historical
puzzle that is far beyond the individual's grasp. Some choose to be
loners: furniture vendor M. Pierre, the drunken truck driver at the
door of a cheap hotel, the sculptor watching his building go up in
flames, a depressed estate agent. Others fight something bigger
than themselves: Zorica's trouble with the French administration,
the harassment Chantal endures while working within it. There are
traces of an older France in stories from Normandy, in the tale of
a German ex-POW's war and his courageous local companion, in the
account by a former chateau cook of what may be a rural myth. These
stories depict a lesser-known France, brimming with communicative
boldness, resilience, and humor.
