A flâneuse is, in Lauren Elkin’s words, “a determined resourceful woman keenly attuned to the creative potential of the city, and the liberating possibilities of a good walk.” Virginia Woolf called it “streethaunting,” Holly Golightly epitomized it in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and Patti Smith did it in her own inimitable style in 1960s New York.
Part cultural meander, part memoir, Flâneuse traces the relationship between singular women and their cities as a way to map her own life―a journey that begins in New York and takes us to Paris, via Venice, Tokyo, and London―including the paths beaten by such flâneuses as the cross-dressing, nineteenth-century novelist George Sand, the Parisian artist Sophie Calle, the journalist Martha Gellhorn, and the writer Jean Rhys. With tenacity and insight, Elkin creates a mosaic of what urban settings have meant to women, charting through literature, art, history, and film women’s sometimes liberating, sometimes fraught relationship to the metropolis.

評分這是我自己添加的書,今天看完瞭。個人見聞加浮想類書記吧~
評分這本意外也四天就聽完瞭,可能女性朗讀者真的比較容易聽進去。題材選得很好,涵蓋瞭Virginia Woolf, George Sand, Sophie Calle, Martha Gellhorn, Agnes Varda等各個女性藝術傢as flâneuse,文筆也是好的,但是作者太自我中心瞭,越聽到後麵越厭倦,尤其是對東京的expat視角,一個不喜歡brooklyn的長島人,一個寫到巴黎隻知道寫5/6區的人實在太沒有探索精神瞭,和書的主題簡直背道而馳。結果發現是我校的比較文學博士,why am I not surprised (wink).
