This podcast goes French, and describes for your consideration a beautiful little novella by the scandalously unafraid French woman of letters, Colette. Julie de Carneilhan is about the survival of an aristocratic divorcee in Paris, in poverty. It is strangely uplifting towards the end, where Julie rides off away from the sunrise and away from all the humiliations of her complicated love life. For people who idolise Paris, this tells you how to starve really elegantly. Comments[0]

Why I Really Like This Book (anti-romance)
These are podcasts about forgotten fiction, for curious readers, and for anyone who likes old books. Sometimes they're stories, sometimes they're not. Most of the authors write in English; and sometimes they don't. But all the books I talk about, I really really like. I hope you will too.
