Paperback. Condizione: Fair. "Fabre's unexpectedly touching novel has a laugh of its own behind its low-key, smoothly translated narrative voice . The city it evokes isn't the Paris of tourists but of local people."--The New York Times "Fabre is a genius of these nuanced, interior moments . The story Fabre tells is that of every one of us: looking for meaning in the mundane, moving through our lives, our interactions, as if through the fabric of a dream . How do we live? it asks to consider. And: What does our existence mean?"--Los Angeles Times "Guys Like Me is a short, arresting tale that .not only offers keen insights into the mind of its middle-aged protagonist, but also provides the reader with a unique tour of what everyday life in the low-key suburbs of Paris must truly be like."--Typographical Era "Readers will take pleasure in this well-told tale with a satisfying ending."--Publishers Weekly "The setting may be Paris, but it's not the Paris of grand avenues and pricey cafés.

Fabre is the discreet megaphone of the man in the crowd."--Elle "In this novel one finds the intimate geography of an author who lays bare the essence of Paris and its outskirts."--La Quinzaine littéraire Dominique Fabre, born in Paris and a lifelong resident of the city, exposes the shadowy, anonymous lives of many who inhabit the French capital.

He's looking for a second act to his mournful life, seeking the harbor of love and a true connection with his son. Set in palpably real Paris streets that feel miles away from the City of Light, Guys Like Me is a stirring novel of regret and absence, yet not without a glimmer of hope.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Pierre is a veteran bartender in a caf in the outskirts of Paris. He observes his customers as they come and go - the young man who drinks beer as he reads Primo Levi, the fellow who from time to time strips down and plunges into the nearby Seine, the few regulars who eat and drink there on credit - sizing them up with great accuracy and empathy. Pierre doesn't look outside more than necessary; he prefers to let the world come to him. Soon, however, the caf must close its doors, and Pierre finds himself at a loss. As we follow his stream of thoughts over three days, Pierre's humanity and profound solitude both emerge. The Waitress Was New is a moving portrait of human anguish and weakness, of understated nobility and strength. Lire est un plaisir describes Dominique Fabre as a magician of the everyday.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A sensitive portrait of one boy's travels from earliest consciousness through his salad days in the countryside and onward by a "genius" of "nuanced interior moments" (Los Angeles Times) Fabre's ability to act as a "discreet megaphone of the man in the crowd" (Elle Magazine) will take you by surprise and leave an immutable mark on your heart. Edgar loves nothing more than listening to the birds in the trees, the squeaking of moles in nearby chalk quarries, the conversations trickling out of the carpeted offices surrounding his favorite park in the suburbs of Paris. He also listens to the hushed conversations of passersby, strangers who whisper that he is "not all there." But what constitutes the supposedly insufficient character of Edgar's interior life? Dominique Fabre gives himself over to Edgar's way of seeing, his sensitivity, his innocence and wisdom, his longings and perceptions, his tentative interpolations into the social fabric of 1960s France, and in each passage we find a stirring answer.…
