No. 91/92: notes on a Parisian commute

A love letter to Paris written in iPhone notes and in the troubling intimacy of public transport post-Charlie Hebdo attacks, Lauren Elkin`s diary of a year on a Parisian bus pays homage to Georges Perec and Annie Ernaux. In this chronicle of the ordinary makings of a city and its people, the author`s own body is a threatened vessel; that of the author as a woman as an author as a pregnant woman on the bus.
