In a strangely distorted Paris a Japanese adoptee is haunted by the woman he once loved When Fumiko emerges after one month locked in her dorm room she's already dead leaving a half - smoked Marlboro Light and a cupboard of petrified food in her wake. For her boyfriend Henrik Blatand an aspiring translator these remnants are like clues propelling him forward in a search for meaning. Meanwhile Fumiko or perhaps her doppelg nger reappears: in line at the Louvre on street corners and subway platforms and on the dissection table of a group of medical students. Henrik's inquiry expands beyond Fumiko's seclusion and death across the absurd entropic streets of Paris and the figures that wander them from a jaded group of Korean expats to an eccentric French widow to the indelible woman whom Henrik finds sitting in his place on a train. It drives him into the shadowy corners of his past where his adoptive Danish parents raised him in a house without mirrors. And it mounts to a charged intimacy shared with his best friend's precocious daughter who may be haunted herself. With each successive echoic chapter Paris Is a Party Paris Is a Ghost plunges readers more deeply beneath the surface of things to the displacement exile grief and desire that hide in plain sight.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Paris Is A Party Paris Is A Ghost A Novel\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Kim David Hoon\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Picador\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781250849243\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 8\/2\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Modern \u0026amp; Contemporary Fiction","brand":"Kim David Hoon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49614967177521,"sku":"IN-G-9781250849243","price":15.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781250849243.jpg?v=1724616732","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781250849243-paris-is-a-party-paris-is-a-ghost-a-novel","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
