Book description
In Paris, two couples form an intimacy that will change their lives
forever. As they discover the clubs and cafés of the eleventh
arrondissement, the four become inseparable, united by deeply held
convictions about dating strategies, tunnelling in P. O.W. films and,
crucially, the role of the Styrofoam cup in American thrillers.
Experiencing the exhilarating highs of Ecstasy and sex, they reach a
peak of rapture - but the come-down is unexpected and devastating. Dyer
fixes a dream of happiness - and its aftermath. Erotic and elegiac,
funny and romantic, Paris Trance confirms Dyer as one of Britain's most
original and talented writers. Sexy, hopelessly romantic and almost
sneakily meditative, Dyer's novel invokes the shades of Hemingway and
Fitzgerald, but as they might be imagined by Truffaut.
