"Paris Noir" by Jacques Yonnet



The "Paris Noir" book I am reading is a very interesting piece of work. Written during the French Occupation, this non-fiction book exposes a sub-culture that was lurking in the shadows of Paris during the early 40's. I am kind of in awe and struck by how there is the straight powerful society/culture and then there are the little mice that organize among themselves to survive their environment. It's a fascinating document!

I enjoy you blog and I am especially pleased to read your comments about my grandfather, Jacques Yonnet. As you mentioned, the book is fascinating and so was he.
Thanks.
