A flaneur is a stroller, a loiterer, someone who ambles without apparent purpose but is secretly attuned to the history of the streets he walks - and is in covert search of adventure, aesthetic or erotic. Acclaimed writer Edmund White, who lived in Paris for sixteen years, wanders through the avenues and along the quays, into parts of the city virtually unknown to visitors and indeed to many locals, luring the reader into the fascinating and seductive backstreets of his personal Paris.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Edmund White

Edmund White, que viveu em Paris durante dezasseis anos, vagueia agora pelas suas ruas, avenidas e cais, levando-nos a locais totalmente desconhecidos dos turistas e até de muitos parisienses. A entrada no Marais evoca a história dos Judeus em França, uma visita ao Haynes Grill relembra a presença - festiva e problemática - dos negros americanos durante século e meio. Homossexuais, artistas decadentes e até a realeza, passada e presente, são todos submetidos ao escrutínio do flâneur.
