For some, Paris is home, for others, merely a dream. For Gaston, it is a bench, the anchor of his life. For Sue, a romantic city filled with scandalous, dark-eyed men, for Frank an all-consuming fire, for Mme Santinelli a ghost she'd hoped to forget. By turns humorous, bittersweet, historical or surreal, each of these carefully selected stories invites us to explore a different facet of Paris.

BEST PARIS STORIES brings together the winning short stories of the 2011 Paris Short Story Contest with works by Jeannine Alter, Bob Levy, Lisa Burkitt, Nafkote Tamirat, Marie Houzelle, Jo Nguyen, Julia Mary Lichtblau, Mary Byrne, Marie Houzelle, Jane M. Handel, and Jim Archibald.

The BEST PARIS STORIES were selected by distinguished judges Elizabeth Bard, Cara Black, Janet Skeslien Charles, Charles and Clydette De Groot, Penelope Fletcher, Nicola Keegan, Anne Korkeakivi, Diane Johnson, Robert Stewart, Heather Stimmler-Hall, and Charles Trueheart in collaboration with Paris Writers News and the remarkable Editorial Committee formed by Beth Arnold, Janice Abbott, Jennifer K. Dick, Mary Duncan, Kristin Espinasse, Karen Fawcett, Mary Ellen Gallagher, Nancy Gerbault, Hilary Kaiser, Dimitri Keramitas, Barry Kirwan, Marcia Lebre, Kai Maristed, Thirza Valois, Christopher Vanier, and Eve Zuckerman,

  1. Excellent news! I am always on the lookout for new books to add to my reading list for "Paris: A Literary Adventure" (both the armchair version at Politics & Prose in Washington DC and the in-Paris version for Queens College CUNY students each summer). Can't wait to read this new collection, brava and merci for bringing it into the world!
