Scott's new lyricism in her Paris

My Paris review

Scott’s previous novels, Heroine and Main Brides, both emit a soulful phantasmagoria of city, culture, and desire. In the first scene of My Paris, the narrator is reclining on a divan, but she is also traveling. ... [Scott] has found a new way to make lyricism out of fragmentation and juncture. ... My Paris ends with... a kiss. What is it about Paris? When I return from that city I often fall into panic – must get back, must get back. But if I can’t have my Paris, I’ll take Scott’s throng of fragments, a new kind of novel that sets both Paris and the genre on their ears.
