Summary / Abstract (Note) | Paris-A hot best seller in France is a curious little work that likely says more than the deepest political commentary about the state of mind in today's Europe, especially this nation that still considers itself-reality perhaps notwithstanding-the heart and soul of the continent. The book is titled Vous N'aurez Pas le Dernier Mot ( You Won't Have the Last Word), and its authors are the writer-actor Jean Piat, of the Comédie Française, and Patrick Wajsman, the founding editor of Politique Internationale. Subtitled "a lighthearted anthology of the sweetest repartées," it seems to have touched a chord this year in a Europe swept by discord, where repartée has taken to the streets-often quite violently-and parliaments are debating how best to reduce expectations. |
