"Indisputably one of the most invigorating French writers."--John Taylor, Paths to Contemporary French Literature In this delightful memoir, written with tenderness and humor, the distinguished poet chooses the height of the plum-picking season to revisit--on an old motorbike--his home town in Lorraine, northeast France, for five days. With a colorful mix of old acquaintances renewed, vividly remembered places and childhood memories that have shaped a lifetime's writing, and reflections, often whimsical, on the passing of the years, this has few rivals as a portrayal of town life in la France profonde.
