Simple sentences, everybody's sentences form something like Everybody's Autobiography: "A simple man, he loves the lake, money also somewhat." Translated from the French by Keith Waldrop.

Marie Borel is not only one of France's edgiest writers, as versed in verlang as she is in vers libre, she's also an inveterate traveler, spending much of each year in various places like Yemen or Japan with the balance spent in Paris.
