A love letter to Paris, penned in iPhone notes and in the unsettling intimacy of public transport post-Charlie Hebdo attacks, Lauren Elkin's diary of a year on a Parisian bus pays homage to Georges Perec and Annie Ernaux.
In this chronicle of the ordinary makings of a city and its people, the author's own body is a threatened vessel; that of the author as a woman, as an author, as a pregnant woman on the bus.
Elkin's writing is a meditation on the complexities of urban life, the rhythms of daily commutes, and the ways in which we navigate the spaces between us.
Through her vivid descriptions and keen observations, she reveals the beauty and brutality of the city, as well as the resilience and humanity of its inhabitants.
The diary also serves as a reflection on the role of literature in shaping our understanding of the world and the power of storytelling to connect us across differences.
Elkin's Paris bus diary is a testament to the enduring spirit of the city and the power of literature to capture its essence.
